About The Position
The Stanford GSB invites applications for the position of Associate Director, Research Collections and Data Acquisitions for the GSB Research Hub. Within the GSB Research Hub and Business Library, collections no longer mean just monographs, serials, and electronic subscription databases. In addition to these baseline activities, the Associate Director will assist in managing the acquisition and lifecycle of research data purchased and donated for use by faculty and Ph.D. researchers, as well as other collections materials. The Associate Director, Research Collections and Data Acquisition has two overarching areas of responsibility. The first is to support individual faculty members in their attempts to acquire data sources from established data vendors and individual organizations with whom the faculty has established a relationship. The incumbent will be responsive to individual faculty members' requests and needs and will skillfully help the faculty secure access to the desired data sources in a timely manner. Second, the Associate Director is responsible for supporting and executing on the GSB Library's collections strategy. Both of these areas of responsibility require skills in contract negotiation, licensing and vendor management, research partnerships, and digital collections curation.
