Assistant Librarian

This role is ideally suited for highly experienced library professionals with a Master's degree in Library/Information Science (or equivalent) and a strong academic record, including a preferred Ph.D. Candidates must possess a minimum of 10 years of experience, specifically including roles as Senior and Junior Professional Assistant, and prior experience as a Librarian in a University or Educational Institute of National Importance. The ideal applicant will demonstrate expertise in managing print and electronic resources, implementing advanced library technologies, and fostering a strong service culture within an academic setting.

This position is not suitable for fresh graduates or candidates with less than 10 years of relevant professional experience, particularly those without specific experience in roles like Senior/Junior Professional Assistant or Librarian in comparable institutions. Individuals lacking expertise in modern library technologies (e.g., RFID, ILS, RDM, AI tools for libraries) or those seeking a permanent, non-contractual role may find this opportunity unsuitable.

Working as an Assistant Librarian at the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore (IIMB), an Institute of National Importance, offers significant prestige and a vibrant intellectual environment. This contractual role provides a unique opportunity to lead and innovate library services in a premier management institute, contributing directly to its research and teaching mission. While initially a 3-year contract, it offers strong potential for extension based on performance, allowing for long-term professional growth and impact within a top-tier academic institution.
