MiraCosta College


To view the full job posting and apply for this position, go to: https://jobs.miracosta.edu

Discipline or Department: Library

Position Type: Full-time Faculty

Hourly Rate or Monthly Salary:

Working Hours: One full-time, tenure-track librarian position, beginning in July 2017, reporting to the Dean of Academic Information Services. Annual on-duty days will be 195, spread over 12 months. Salary placement will be on the full-time faculty salary schedule, plus a 1.108 time factor (reflecting the number of days beyond the standard 176-day faculty contract). The standard contractual work week for librarians is forty (40) hours with twenty-five (25) hours of base duties, ten (10) preparation hours, and five (5) institutional service hours. The twenty-five (25) hours of base duties include fifteen (15) hours of reference services and ten (10) hours of librarian specialization including curriculum development, database management, emerging technologies development, collection development, library exhibits and displays, and cataloging. The expectation is that thirty (30) hours will be on campus. Librarians assigned to teach classes are designated as classroom faculty for that portion of their workload, which is computed accordingly as classroom LHE and comes with a "flex" obligation of two (2.0) hours of pre-approved professional development activities per one (1.0) classroom LHE (fall and spring).
