Job Title: Director, Library
Department: Library
About The New York Academy of Medicine:
The New York Academy of Medicine (NYAM) is a leading voice for innovation in population health. Throughout its 178-year history, NYAM has championed bold changes to the systems that perpetuate health inequities and keep all communities from achieving healthier and longer lives (HealthSpan). Focusing on societal, environmental, and institutional factors that influence health, the NYAM team collaborates with partners in academia, government, community-based organizations, and others to promote policies, programs, and community needs that contribute to health for all. Today, this work includes innovative research that distinctively values community input for maximum impact. Combined with NYAM’s historic library, a global journal and with the support of 1,800 accomplished Fellows and Members, NYAM’s impact as a population health leader continues.
The NYAM Historical Medical Library began in January 1847 with the founding of the Academy. It opened its collections to the general public in 1878. By the middle of the 20th century, it had grown to be one of the largest independent medical libraries in the country. Building on its extensive historical collections, in the early 21st century, the Library transitioned from a modern health sciences library to a historical medical library. Strong candidates for this position will have a clear and forward vision of the future of the historical medical library in an independent institutional research environment, a background in the history of health sciences, and experience in library/archival administration. Candidates should have extensive management experience in a library or cultural heritage environment, including with strategic planning and implementation.
Position Summary/Overview:
NYAM seeks a dynamic, innovative, and collaborative leader as the Director of the Library, charged with reimagining its goals and with building greater engagement of its rich holdings within NYAM and beyond. Reporting to the NYAM President and serving on the NYAM leadership team, the Director plays a crucial role in establishing the Library as a pillar of engagement and building the Library of the future. The Director will help implement vision and strategic priorities in support of institutional alignment, using innovative organizational principles and technological advances to increase access and disseminate knowledge that advances population health.
