• Train and enable technical users through documentation, guidance, and outreach; serve as the go-to expert on available information tools as they evolve.
• Evaluate AI-enabled research tools and emerging technologies; provide recommendations on responsible adoption and licensing implications.
• Manage the physical research library collection, rare and out-of-print publications, and lab notebook archive.

• Experience with Electronic Resource Management (ERM) tools, link resolvers, discovery services, authentication systems, or usage analytics
• Understanding of licensing considerations related to internal sharing, reuse, text/data mining, and AI-enabled use of scientific content
• Experience designing training, documentation, and outreach programs for technical user populations
