Position Summary/Purpose of Position: | The College of Information Studies at the University of Maryland, College Park (INFO), invites applications for a full-time, professional track lecturer with expertise in project management, student teamwork, engaging external stakeholders, and developing and implementing experiential learning projects. This position will focus on supporting and enhancing the work of the iConsultancy, which oversees experiential learning for the College. iConsultancy partners with industry, government, and communities to develop challenging, problem-based learning experiences and to integrate them into our undergraduate and graduate curricula, primarily in the form of capstone courses (a culminating learning experience for students at the end of their degrees). These projects are structured as consulting engagements, in which student teams, with faculty guidance and support, take on projects in areas such as data science, data visualization, data engineering, user experience (UX) user interface (UI) design, database and technology development, and website design. More information on iConsultancy at INFO can be found at: https://ischool.umd.edu/partners/iconsultancy/ We are seeking a faculty member to play a key role in delivering and enhancing innovative experiential courses that equip students with the knowledge, skills, and real-world experience necessary to excel in information careers. The successful candidate will teach three courses per semester (fall and spring) while also supporting iConsultancy. This support may include aspects of iConsultancy administration including project development and client engagement, as well as program, course, and curricular improvement. Teaching load may be reduced during periods of substantial administrative and curriculum development work. The successful candidate will teach capstone and other experiential courses at the undergraduate and graduate levels, engage with external stakeholders, participate in shared governance within the university, and participate actively in the life of the college. |
