Position Description
Primary Purpose and Essential Functions | University of the Pacific’s Benerd College is seeking a team member with an entrepreneurial spirit to serve a vital role as we fulfill our vision to be a center of innovation, learning, and creativity in the Sacramento Valley. We are searching for a colleague with a deep commitment to engaging students in real-world practice through teaching that challenges dominant norms. Our courses are centered on culminating projects where students work with community partners in real-world settings. We are focused on an action-oriented, project-based dissertation model in our doctoral program. In particular, we are teaching students to use various innovation tools and frameworks as methods for their dissertation inquiry. We hope to find a colleague who will help us move even further in creating the most transformational and impactful program possible. The Sacramento faculty plays an important role in working with the Associate Dean and other colleagues to build our presence in the region. This new colleague will serve as the program lead for the Leadership and Innovation Doctoral Program, launched in Fall 2015. The program, which we call “A Doctorate for Innovators and Creators,” is designed to develop innovators and systems thinkers for learning, leadership, and change. The successful candidate will demonstrate evidence of teaching, research, leadership, service and the ability to work collaboratively with students, colleagues, and stakeholders. The position will be based at the Sacramento Campus and the incoming candidate will take an active role in our community engagement efforts. This is a non-tenure track position with an eleven-month appointment. Please note that faculty rank and title are contingent upon the successful candidate’s experience and qualifications. The basic teaching workload is two courses each semester including summer for a 2-2-2 load. This faculty appointment will also include assisting the Associate Dean with programmatic responsibilities, program coordination, recruitment and dissemination of program information. The position will teach across our programs, but has a particular emphasis in the Leadership and Innovation Doctoral Program. This includes involvement in dissertations, master’s thesis, student recruitment, community engagement, curriculum development, internal service, and scholarship. Our program requires continual innovation and pushing of traditional boundaries, which results in a heavily collaborative teaching culture. In collaboration with the Associate Dean, this position will play a key role in working to build and sustain the Doctoral Program by:
