The Center for Learning Innovation (CLI), an interdisciplinary department focused on health sciences at the University of Minnesota Rochester (UMR), invites applications for a full-time tenure-line faculty position (open-rank, assistant/associate/full professor; tenured or tenure-track) for Teaching & Learning Scholar beginning fall semester 2022.

We seek an individual to work in a team based, collaborative environment who is focused on Discipline-Based Education Research (DBER) and/or Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) as their primary research area, ideally with a focus in undergraduate student development and retention. The candidate will be expected to teach in UMR’s Bachelor

of Science in Health Sciences degree program in the first-year seminar and appropriate disciplinary and interdisciplinary areas, such as research methods, academic skills, or the senior year Capstone courses. Additionally, the candidate will actively contribute to education research efforts and assessment in the department, especially with respect to

the evaluation of High-Impact Practices, such as first- year experiences and living learning communities, and will be enthusiastic and innovative while shaping a developing university. The ideal candidate will facilitate and enhance the meaningful learning of first-year and/or sophomore students enrolled in an integrated course sequence, and potentially

by acting as a liaison between students, faculty, and Student Success, Equity and Engagement (SSEE) staff during the pivotal first two years of undergraduate study.

Expected teaching workload is equivalent to 15 credits per academic year. The appointment will be 100% time over the nine-month academic year at a rank and tenure status depending on qualifications and experience, and consistent with campus and University policy.
