JOB SUMMARY:

This Associate Director partners with the CATLR team and faculty to define and advance the frontier of education innovation, with a special emphasis on authentic assignments and assessments that promote evidence-based experiential learning.

Experience in supporting faculty with the design and implementation of Scholarship of Teaching and Learning projects is also desirable. Successful candidates will have strong communication skills (written, visual, and verbal) and the capacity to create high quality, interactive online workshops/gatherings for wide-ranging groups of educators. CATLR strives to engage the Northeastern community with as diverse a range of perspectives as we can and candidates from groups historically underrepresented in higher education are strongly encouraged to apply.

Developing self-paced courses and online resources such as educator tips to advance educational practices. This includes curating and ensuring the quality of CATLR's website resources.
Supporting initiatives that have a center-, department-, or university-wide impact. This will include a special focus on data tracking, reporting, analysis, and visualization for the purpose of assessment, evaluation, and improvement.
Supporting faculty in their teaching-related scholarship by co-developing and facilitating SoTL programming and cohorts, in addition to providing individual consultation.
Contributing to scholarly teaching including: maintaining an active practice of scholarly inquiry related to teaching and learning; supporting grant and research work to advance teaching and learning, both at the university and in higher education more broadly.

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:
