At UC, today’s possibilities spark tomorrow’s reality.

At the University of Cincinnati's Division of Experience-Based Learning and Career Education (ELCE), we believe that experiential learning and career education are essential components of higher education. In support of this, we develop and deliver innovative, high-impact courses, programs, and services that foster students' personal and professional development as dynamic, thoughtful, global citizens. Within a thriving culture of collaboration, the division provides students, employers, and partners a single point of contact for experience-based learning opportunities and transition-to-career services.

An Assistant Professor at the University of Cincinnati is expected to teach, conduct research, scholarly and other professional or creative activities. This position will support the University of Cincinnati’s mission and commitment to excellence and diversity in our students, faculty, staff, and all of our activities. The role of Educator Professors encompasses teaching (70-85%), service (5-15%), and scholarship (5-15%).

The core responsibility of Assistant Professor Educator in ELCE is fostering the professional development of students and preparing them for what comes next, whether it be a gainful career or post-graduate education. Some specific responsibilities that support student success include teaching professional development courses for engineering and/or information technology majors, working collaboratively with colleagues to develop courses, designing curricula in alignment with student needs and the goals of the college(s)/unit(s) we support, organizing lessons that support learning outcomes, developing and leading interactive instruction (in-person and online), monitoring student learning and course progress, preparing materials that are universally accessible (ADA Compliant), communicating effectively to students from diverse backgrounds, advising students 1-on-1 or in small groups, cultivating a culture of belonging, and working collaboratively with our Partnership Development Team to create employment opportunities for students.

Educator professors typically engage in service to their division, university, and profession by serving on boards and committees. Scholarship activities typically involve research in their area of interest (e.g., leading to presentation and publication), including but not limited to understanding the impact of their teaching methods. Scholarship activities also include professional development and demonstrated application of skills or knowledge acquired (e.g., the application of a new teaching method).
