I am excited to share that the Biddle Law Library at the University of Pennsylvania’s Carey Law School is looking for colleagues to join our team in three new positions, including an FCIL Librarian. All three positions are eligible for hybrid work.
Foreign, Comparative, and International Law Librarian – apply here
Deputy Director – apply here
Scholarly Communications and Open Access Librarian – apply here
The Biddle Law Library is an inclusive team of professionals with a kind, collaborative spirit and a drive to innovate. We meet our strategic goals by fostering a mutually supportive culture that encourages teamwork, while also creating space for individuals to cultivate their own initiatives. The Law School and law library administration provide abundant support and guidance for new projects and ideas to flourish. Biddle is an integral part of the Penn Carey Law community. We provide essential support to our world-class faculty, highly motivated student body, and welcoming, convivial staff. Biddle team members have ample opportunities for growth, including funding for professional development, collaboration across departments and colleges, and freedom to explore new areas of interest. Penn supports its employees’ well-being with opportunities for hybrid work, excellent benefits, and a commitment to equity and inclusion.
Philadelphia is one of America’s most historic and celebrated cities. The Law School is in the heart of the charming University City district, surrounded by countless gourmet food options, cultural venues, and shops. Penn supports alternative commuting approaches such as mass transit and bicycling, and the law school is just a short walk away from a major transit hub that provides convenient access to the Greater Philadelphia area. Philadelphia is a city of diverse and eclectic neighborhoods, with something for everyone! Enjoy our wonderful outdoor spaces (including America’s largest urban park with miles of hiking and biking trails), vibrant cultural institutions, and some of the best food in the United States. Located in the heart of the Mid-Atlantic, we are just a two-hour train ride from New York City and Washington, DC.
Several Biddle librarians will be attending the AALL Annual Meeting in Denver and would be thrilled to speak informally with folks interested in any of the above positions about the role(s), working at Penn, and/or living in Philadelphia. To make arrangements to meet in Denver, or if you have any other questions related to the searches, please contact Matti Mejia at [email protected].
