Founded in 1898, Northeastern is a global research university and the recognized leader in experience-driven lifelong learning. Our world-renowned experiential approach empowers our students, faculty, alumni, and partners to create impact far beyond the confines of discipline, degree, and campus.

Our locations-in Boston; Charlotte, North Carolina; London; Portland, Maine; San Francisco; Seattle; Silicon Valley; Toronto; Vancouver; and the Massachusetts communities of Burlington and Nahant-are nodes in our growing global university system. Through this network, we expand opportunities for flexible, student-centered learning and collaborative, solutions-focused research.

Northeastern's comprehensive array of undergraduate and graduate programs- in a variety of on-campus and online formats-lead to degrees through the doctorate in nine colleges and schools. Among these, we offer more than 195 multi-discipline majors and degrees designed to prepare students for purposeful lives and careers.

The Law Library is a center for research, study and community. Law Librarians are critical to the function of the Law Library and provide training and assistance with online and print resources, instructional services (both one-offs and semester long) and research help to faculty, students and staff.

The candidate is expected to work in-person. The library is staffed in-person and remotely, with drop-in, email, telephone and chat research help available Monday-Friday 8:30 - 5:00 p.m.
