Requisition Number: JR25178
Division / Dept. / Unit: Library Administration-Development
Reports to: Director of Development
Work Schedule: 37.5 hours per week
The University of Chicago Library is forging new paths and aiming to make a significant impact at the University of Chicago, as well as in a leadership position in the global knowledge environment.
Traditionally, the role of the academic library has been to bring information into the community it serves and to provide the spaces, skills, and tools to enable its patrons to benefit. Library buildings, fully of books, embody this way of operating. This traditional model is enhanced by leveraging digital technologies to facilitate information flows within the university and allowing information to be shared online in a sustainable way.
This new paradigm will require libraries to develop sustainable services for information management and sharing and taking an active role in shaping the knowledge ecosystem, which will facilitate equitable access to and increase the visibility of information. To contribute to the ongoing success of the University of Chicago, the Library is changing its operating model to position itself as a leader in this environment, while still expanding on its historic strength in collection development.
The Library is also developing a new strategy to position itself as an international leader in information services and technologies, including artificial intelligence, big data, and other related areas.
We are seeking an Associate Director of Development to be part of the transformation of the idea of what an academic library is and can be, making an important and meaningful contribution to the Library’s future by securing grants and philanthropic investments from institutions to advance these aspirations.
Alumni Relations & Development
The University of Chicago’s Alumni Relations and Development Office (ARD) engages alumni (~190k), current students, parents and friends of the University through intellectual, professional, and social activities on campus, around the world and online. ARD raises $600 million annually to support faculty and researchers, practitioners and patients, and students and programs across the University. Our work supports priorities in every division, school, department, and institute.
Library Development
The Library’s Development department is responsible for enabling the strategic plans and aspirations of the University Librarian and Library leadership by securing philanthropic, grant, and government funding. Recent success in institutional giving includes a $1 million grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities to develop UChicagoNode, a digital platform to create and deliver digital collections and research data in collaboration with the University’s Humanities Division.

The Associate Director will manage programs designed to meet University fundraising goals for philanthropic income from institutional sources for the Library, as well as manage the Library’s government grants program.
