eCornell Online Course Facilitator -- Python, Data Science, AI, or SQL

eCornell delivers online professional certificate programs to individuals and organizations around the world. Certificates are designed and developed as a collaborative effort between Cornell University faculty and eCornell's professional instructional design and development teams.
eCornell offers more than 200 Certificates in a wide range of topics, including leadership and management, data science, engineering, marketing, technology, human resources, healthcare, hospitality, and more. New programs are being launched constantly. Short courses (most are 2 weeks) with small cohorts are designed to be interactive, and to help learners gain skills they can immediately apply in their organizations. The eCornell Online Course Facilitator plays a key role. Along with content from Cornell University faculty, and high-production value courses, the Course Facilitators round out the complete learning experience for students.
We are seeking additional facilitators for several program areas, including Python Programming, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, or SQL.

Hired eCornell Course Facilitators will:

• Become Cornell University part-time casual employees, with flexible course facilitation assignments throughout the year.
• Be provided with extensive onboarding support prior to being assigned courses.
• Share their applied experience in the field with working adults worldwide.
• Encourage the sharing of reflection and information by students using online platforms.
• Assess and provide relevant feedback for students on assignments.
• Collaborate with appropriate eCornell staff to contribute to continuous improvement and student engagement as needed.

Required Qualifications:

• A baccalaureate degree from a regionally accredited institution (or non-US equivalent) plus a minimum of 5 years of experience working in software engineering, data science, artificial intelligence, or related disciplines; or an equivalent combination of graduate level education and experience.
• Deep understanding of one or more of the relevant fields of Python programming, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, or SQL.
• Comfortable using technology effectively for communication, instruction, and coaching.
• Exceptional communication skills in English with the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and concisely.

Additionally, preferred qualifications include:

• Prior teaching, tutoring, or mentorship experience in related disciplines.
• Online instructional experience, particularly using Integrated Development Environments (eCornell uses Codio).
• Ability and qualifications to facilitate courses in eCornell certificates beyond those listed above.

Please note:

• There is no VISA sponsorship or relocation assistance available for these positions, and facilitators need to be current U.S. residents.
• These positions are remote, which means you can be located anywhere within the U.S.
• The eCornell Course Facilitators are casual, non-benefits eligible positions.
• The positions are exempt positions and are thus not available as an additional appointment for current Cornell University non-exempt employees.
