The Syracuse University Libraries invites applications for a Curator in our Special Collections Research Center (SCRC). Reporting to the Lead Curator, the Curator (who concentrates on the historical era of the 20th century - present) is a valued member of the curatorial team and is charged with the continued development and interpretation of and teaching with the SCRC's collections of rare books, archives, manuscripts, media, and more.

The Curator evaluates the Center's existing collections to ensure collection development strategies align with established priorities. The Curator facilitates the interpretation of the Center's collections through an ambitious program of exhibitions, instruction sessions, and outreach and communicates the vision and mission of the SCRC through clear and engaging writing and public speaking. In collaboration with colleagues, the Curator helps establish priorities for preservation and access to the collections and provides advanced reference assistance and outreach to donors, faculty, and the broader community.

The Center fosters a flexible, collaborative work environment and a strong team spirit within the department. In a fast-paced environment, the Center provides high-quality service to a diverse and inclusive campus and local and researcher communities.
