Summary
The Center for Research on Learning and Teaching (CRLT) at the University of Michigan invites applications for an Instructional Consultant position. This is an exciting opportunity to join a vibrant, collaborative Center with extensive partnerships on teaching and learning across U-M and beyond and a strong DEI focus. Applicants with a range of background and experience (such as DEI, curriculum, online pedagogy, active learning, STEM teaching, among many others) are welcome to apply. Consultants across the center are committed to promoting equity-focused and inclusive teaching in programs, workshops, and consultations.
We may hire up to two consultants in this process. Candidates with additional experience may be considered for the title of Assistant Director.
Who We Are
CRLT is the nation's first teaching center. We are dedicated to the support and advancement of evidence-based learning and teaching practices and the professional development of all members of the campus teaching community. CRLT is part of the Provost's Office and partners with faculty, graduate students, postdocs, and academic leaders across U-M's 19 schools and colleges to develop and sustain a university culture that values and rewards teaching, respects and supports individual differences among learners, and creates equitable learning environments in which diverse students and instructors can excel. The University is currently embarking on the second stage of a strategic initiative on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. CRLT is U-M's key resource for equity-focused and inclusive teaching. Because of the University's and CRLT's commitment to these values, and their relevance to the substance of this work, candidates from groups historically underrepresented in faculty development are strongly encouraged to apply.
Responsibilities
An Instructional Consultant will plan and facilitate workshops and programs focused on a range of topics (e.g., equity-focused teaching, group work and active learning, grading and assessment); develop new programs to meet emerging needs; consult with individual instructors about pedagogy, course design, assessment, and other teaching-related matters; conduct midterm student feedback sessions; and develop written resources to be shared with instructors. Instructors at U-M are teaching primarily in-person, but also in remote and online modalities. Likewise, we consult with instructors in multiple modalities. All CRLT consultants are provided professional development opportunities to help develop their skills and connect with a network of educational development professionals at CRLT and beyond.
Required Qualifications
Application Deadline
Job openings are posted for a minimum of seven calendar days. The review and selection process may begin as early as the eighth day after posting. This opening may be removed from posting boards and filled anytime after the minimum posting period has ended.
