    The University of New Mexico (UNM) seeks a visionary, highly skilled, and service-oriented leader to fill the position of director of the Center for Southwest Research and Special Collections (CSWR) in the College of University Libraries and Learning Sciences (CULLS). 

    The Center for Southwest Research and Special Collections specializes in interdisciplinary subjects relating to New Mexico, the Greater Southwest, Mexico, and Latin America, and includes the University Archives; it serves a wide range of students and researchers from throughout New Mexico, the U.S., and the world. Its collection strengths include Native American, Chicano/Hispano, Spanish Colonial, and environmental design history, plus a wide range of locally published and archival materials documenting the region.

    UNM is a Tier I Research Institution, a Hispanic-serving institution, and the flagship university in a majority-minority state. It is an opportune time to join the UNM community as the University embarks on UNM 2040, an innovative and aspirational strategic plan that defines the long- and short-term objectives of the University. In line with CSWR’s mission and purpose, UNM 2040’s implementation includes a goal to: “Understand the needs and unique opportunities of our distinct New Mexican cultures and peoples, economic enterprises, and communities to address critical issues and opportunities facing humanity and contribute to the quality of life, growth, prosperity, and advancement of New Mexico and of human societies across the globe.” 

    This is a full-time, 12-month faculty position with a salary range of $95,000-$110,000 and generous benefits. Faculty rank (assistant professor, associate professor, or professor), tenure status, and salary are negotiable based on qualifications and experience.
