Libraries Fellows Program

The Fellowship: Your First Professional Library Position

Are you a recent or soon-to-be graduate hoping to launch your academic library career at a top research university known for its competitive edge, innovative spirit, and commitment to student and staff success?

Do you want to grow your experience with science and engineering information, digital libraries, or library administration?

The NC State University Libraries Fellows Program offers new librarians a three-year appointment, during which they develop expertise in a functional area and contribute to an innovative initiative of strategic importance. 

Fellows perform as entry-level librarians with their time during the first 18 months divided between two Libraries departments—allowing the Fellows to develop their interests and expertise in two functional areas of academic librarianship. The second 18 months will typically focus on areas that have emerged over the course of the Fellowship, taking into consideration both the Libraries’ operational needs and the professional interests and goals of the Fellow.
