Simon Fraser University Library invites applications for the position of Head, Learning & Engagement. Reporting to the Associate Dean of Libraries for Academic Engagement and based at the W.A.C. Bennett Library on Burnaby campus, this position will be responsible for providing library-wide strategic leadership for information literacy and overseeing the operational areas of the division, including instruction and open education, student success, and engagement, with emphasis on undergraduate students and communities.

Similarly, the Learning & Engagement division, formerly known as Learning & Instructional Services, is undergoing a transition to rearticulate its vision and scope of services with emphases on accessibility, Indigenization, and critical information literacy. This position will be attractive to a thoughtful and values-driven leader ready to take a justice-oriented and decolonial approach to all areas of their work, and contribute to ongoing efforts to work toward equity, inclusion, and accessibility. We seek an inspiring manager who will actively promote the goals and values of the SFU Library, join in efforts to dismantle systemic barriers throughout the library, and work with Indigenous and non-Indigenous colleagues to advance the university’s and library’s Reconciliation and Indigenization initiatives. The successful candidate will have excellent communication and collaborative skills and a strong user-centered focus. They will be aware of trends in post-secondary teaching and learning and library assessment, and they will be energized by advancing change within a large organization.

SFU recognizes that alternative career paths and/or career interruptions (e.g. parental leave, leave due to illness) can impact career trajectory and commits to ensuring that leaves are taken into careful consideration. Candidates are encouraged to highlight in their application how alternative paths and/or interruptions may have impacted them. SFU also recognizes the value of mentoring, outreach, professional service, and diverse forms of scholarship and/or research outputs.
