The Yale University Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning is currently hiring for STEM teaching expertise on the Teaching Development and Initiatives (TDI) team. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) in teaching is a primary focus for our team, and this hire would support these efforts in STEM fields. This position will be at either the Assistant or Associate Director level, depending on incoming level of experience and demonstrated expertise. To be hired at the Associate Director level, significant experience facilitating professional development will be required. The person in this position will work in collaboration with the TDI team and others on campus to promote effective and equitable teaching practices in STEM, facilitate utilization of CIRTL (Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning) resources on campus, and develop supports for STEM faculty, graduate students, and postdocs in each stage of their teaching career. Through consultations, facilitated discussions and workshops, grants funding, and web resource development, the person in this position will support the Poorvu Center’s work to build a shared community for teaching and learning at Yale. The person in this position will also contribute to and benefit from the supportive and collegial work environment of the TDI team and the Poorvu Center and will have opportunities to shape our collective work culture. The center provides resources for professional development and the TDI team supports each other through collective sharing of expertise and resources. The Poorvu Center’s mission to promote teaching and learning is rooted in a culture that prioritizes equity, accessibility, and the growth of each team member. We care for one another as professionals and human beings. We value the perspectives of individuals from diverse backgrounds, experiences, identities, and expertise. And we support one another in learning from our failures as much as our successes. Please include a cover letter and CV to apply for this position. The interview process for this position will involve three stages, including a self-recorded response to a set of questions, a mock syllabus consultation on Zoom, and an in-person workshop and interview. Our hope would be for someone to start in this position in the summer of 2024. For transparency, the targeted salary range for this will be $75-85K for Assistant Director level and $85-95K for Associate Director level. Please apply by January 1st to ensure your consideration for this position.
