The Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library invites candidates to apply for the position of Curator of Western North American History.

The library seeks applications from a diverse range of candidates. A background in library science (or work in special collections), while helpful, is not a pre-requisite. The library’s system of professional ranks allows it to consider people with a broad variety of experience. At its core, the search seeks candidates who are deeply informed about the histories and cultures of the Trans-Mississippi West, including the region’s Indigenous communities and the multiple trans-national migrations that have transformed the West.

Candidates can apply for the job through Yale’s online jobs site at https://sjobs.brassring.com/TGnewUI/Search/Home/Home?partnerid=25053&siteid=5248#jobDetails=1527193_5248.

To be assured of consideration, candidates should apply by March 21, 2022.
