The Library at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta, Georgia seeks a collaborative and innovative Head of Research Data Services to lead the development and delivery of programs that support the management, curation, and sharing of research data across the Institute. The Head of Research Data Services will have a unique opportunity to shape the Library's role in supporting data-intensive research at a leading Research 1 (R1) institution by advancing data literacy, open science, and compliance with funding agency requirements in collaboration with researchers, IT staff, and other campus units.
This position is envisioned as the foundation for a growing Research Data Services program. While the Head of Research Data Services will initially serve as the primary specialist, the long-term goal is to expand the team with additional positions as funding permits.
The ideal candidate will be a strong, forward-thinking leader with a commitment to service excellence and the ability to foster collaboration both within and beyond the Library. They should possess the vision, resilience, and core skills necessary to independently develop, deliver, and sustain research data services until additional staff can be hired. This position reports to the Associate Dean for Research and Scholarly Access.
