The University of Minnesota Rochester (www.r.umn.edu) invites applications for a faculty position in public health (non-tenure track) for its undergraduate degree program, the Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences (BSHS). The position is primarily teaching-focused with the expectation of contributing to departmental and institutional service (90% teaching, 10% service). 

The instructor will join the Center for Learning Innovation (CLI), an innovative, interdisciplinary department.  The CLI coordinates the development and teaching of an integrated, writing-enriched curriculum for a baccalaureate degree in the health sciences. It promotes a learner-centered, undergraduate environment in which ongoing assessment informs pedagogical and curricular choices and is the basis for data-driven research on learning. 

We are seeking a qualified instructor who has significant interest in supporting student learning in a high-contact model inside and outside of the classroom and will work closely with other faculty to coordinate and teach the range of public health  courses with integrated activities both inside and outside the classroom. The successful instructor will have experience in implementing pedagogical strategies and supporting a diverse student body population as 39% of UMR students are students of color and 36% are first generation college students. The instructor should be prepared to teach undergraduate courses in public health and  student focused courses in the Center for Learning Innovation, such as first-year Cornerstone or senior year Capstone courses, to support student success.

Duties include assisting preparation and team-taught delivery of course content in an interactive learning classroom, grading, holding weekly hours in the Just ASK tutoring center (https://r.umn.edu/academics-research/academic-resources/just-ask), supervising undergraduate teaching assistants, facilitating department-wide data collection efforts that coincide with course delivery duties, and other related duties as assigned.

Continuing professional development participation is expected from the instructor and there will be opportunities to attend conferences, workshops, on-line tutorials, and to join professional development opportunities, and/or membership in professional organizations.
