CKS seeks a qualified Cambodian national for the post of Librarian at its headquarters at Wat Damnak in Siem Reap.
The mission of the Center for Khmer Studies (CKS) is to support research and teaching in the social sciences, arts, and humanities as they relate to Cambodia and the Mekong region. Founded in 1999, CKS aims to foster greater understanding of Cambodia and the Mekong region through its international fellowship programs for students and scholars; workshops; conferences; research programs, and libraries. Operating from both Siem Reap (Headquarters) and its Phnom Penh Office, CKS maintains numerous partnerships with local and international organizations and universities.Since opening in 2001, the CKS Library has become the largest academic library in Cambodia outside of the capital with a large collection of over 27,000 titles on Southeast Asia in the humanities and social sciences. Besides the library’s physical resources, CKS has been working on expanding the library’s digital resources on its online catalog, which is accessible to the public from anywhere. In addition, the CKS library also works to promote and enhance reading in Cambodia by organizing and attending other educational events, as well as organizing library workshops for Cambodian librarians. The Librarian will report to our Head Librarian to contribute to this mission.
