Hiring Empiricists at HLS Library
One of the new efforts underway at the Harvard Law School Library is providing support for the growing number of faculty who perform empirical research. It’s something that a few other libraries have begun to do, and we think it’s a great idea. After a successful pilot this past year (where we were swamped with business), we are hiring for two positions for this coming year: one, an empiricist to support faculty and student research and two, an empirical teaching fellow to support the teaching of statistics and related methods. This field is growing and changing in exciting ways, and we’re looking for a few great people to join us in this endeavor.
