The UT Libraries (UTL) seeks to be a pre-eminent and active partner 
within the rich education and research ecosystem at UT through expansive 
collections and digital content, and with innovative services, programs, 
tools and partnerships. We help develop critical thinkers and global 
citizens who transform lives. The Academic Engagement Division supports 
these goals through its Research Support and Digital Initiatives, 
Teaching and Learning, and Scholarly Resources departments.

The Research Support and Digital Initiatives department is comprised of 
a combination of subject liaisons and domain experts who collaborate 
with UTL colleagues and other campus partners to grow, enhance, and 
manage a suite of tools and services that support the research 
lifecycle, promote digital scholarship and digital collections, and 
advance new and emerging modes of scholarship. This work involves 
contributing to the design and implementation of library workflows and 
technology infrastructure, and building a community of practice around 
digital scholarship at UT.

We also work with students, faculty, staff and UTL colleagues to advance 
their research, scholarship, and teaching, through a combination of 
resources, education, outreach, and personal consultation.
UTL librarians and domain experts are responsible for envisioning, 
designing, implementing, assessing and reporting on services and 
activities that support the goals and purpose of their specific 
positions. All are expected to function with a high degree of 
independence as well as in teams to ensure progress toward library and 
unit objectives. They are also expected to work in a collegial, 
collaborative, and professional fashion, and to engage in activities 
that contribute to the mission of both UTL and the University of Texas.

The GIS and Geospatial Data Coordinator will provide leadership for, 
develop and promote GIS and geospatial data services for faculty, staff, 
and students by providing tools and resources to facilitate the 
discovery, access, management, and analysis of geospatial data across 
all disciplines at UT. Additional duties are described in the posting. 
The position reports to the Data Management Coordinator and works 
together with her and the Research Support and Digital Initiatives 
department to support UT affiliate GIS needs.
