Applicants must provide expert-level virtual reference services and possess broad knowledge of national and international business and governmental information resources. The Business Healthcare Librarian will serve as part of the Reference team, collaborating with other librarians across the entire Mayo Clinic organization. Experience and comfort proactively communicating with, and responding to, service requests from business leaders and senior executives is essential.
This position will address Mayo Clinic’s day-to-day business information needs by answering reference questions, gathering data, and delivering concise summaries to library patrons. The incumbent will also develop relationships with Mayo Clinic’s business leadership to provide timely, targeted information to support their decisions. This position requires innovative and flexible thinking and the ability to effectively serve both high-level executives and novice learners. Additional duties include collaborating with other library team members for business-focused collection development and supporting high-quality general library services. Opportunities for growth and continuing education are provided, and ongoing development of medical and business reference skills is an expected part of this role.
Applicants should submit a cover letter, resume or CV, and list of three or more professional references.
