Location: Charlotte, North Carolina
Internal Number: 60455
Position Number: STMP15
Department: Library (Adm)
Employment Type: Temporary - Full-time
Months Per Year: 3
Essential Duties and Responsibilities:
There is much discussion around generative artificial intelligence among those working with research and instruction in higher education, and like most academic libraries, Atkins Library at UNC Charlotte is exploring how best to address it and make decisions around incorporating it into existing library practices and services. The AI Research and Instruction Fellow will join the Public Services unit of Atkins Library to investigate the current AI systems supported and used by the campus community and beyond, communicate with librarians at other institutions to learn about their approach to integrating AI into their instruction, and conduct a literature review to help better inform the library about ways we can approach AI in research and instruction.
This fellowship offers an opportunity to learn about the ways that artificial intelligence and the various AI tools developed for researchers can benefit and enhance the experience of researchers on our campus, and how libraries can play a role in preparing researchers to consider the ethical, environmental, and privacy concerns associated with this technology. Employing a variety of research methods, the Fellow will collect information about different approaches to integrating AI into library practices and meet with members of the AI working group in the library and AI practitioners on-campus. This project will help inform the approach and professional development of those working with research and instruction at Atkins Library and will help us further support the campus community. The Fellow will gain experience collaborating with faculty, librarians, and others involved in the various areas of AI on-campus. This position will appeal to MLIS students who are interested in AI, the ways that emerging technologies can engage students in critical thinking, and their applications in research and instruction.
Duties and Responsibilities:
- Conduct a literature review of academic library practices related to AI in research and instruction
- Communicate with librarians and library staff at other institutions who have established practices and/or resources to support AI research and instruction

- Present research findings to the librarians in Research and Instructional Services
- Explore several AI tools that have been developed to support academic research and design professional development opportunities for library employees
