Description

 

LEAD Professor of Practice/Lecturer

Learning and Leadership

University of Tennessee at Chattanooga

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC), with a current enrollment exceeding 11,000 students, is seeking to fill a position in the doctoral program(s) in Learning and Leadership within the College of Health, Education and Professional Studies. 

This is a twelve-month, full-time, lecturer or professor of practice appointment that requires instruction as well as supervising multi-disciplinary research at the graduate level.

The doctoral program is a competency based, multi-disciplinary doctorate. The curriculum is work/experience embedded, meaning that everyone pursuing the degree is actively working and engaged in various areas of professional practice.

All coursework, deliverables, and milestone accomplishments are based on our participants’ ability to demonstrate scholar-practitioner competency in a number of specific domains. The culminating events include a dissertation (PhD) and project of practice (EdD)

The program’s approach to Learning avoids a myopic focus on formal education and public schooling. In fact, we see learning as transformative relative to human behavior and cognition in multiple venues. From a Leadership perspective, we believe that leadership is a shared process based on organizational goals and measurable outcomes, not the study of the individuals with positional power often viewed as leaders / bosses / great men. Please visit the program website at: https://www.utc.edu/health-education-and-professional-studies/school-of-professional-studies/learning-and-leadership

Application: Screening of applications for this position will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.

Applicants should submit the following items:

(1) letter of interest to include a statement of teaching /learning philosophy,

(2) a current curriculum vita,

(3) three letters of reference, and

(4) unofficial transcripts from all universities.

The successful candidate will hold an earned doctorate (PhD or equivalent) in organizational behavior, psychology, business, or other social sciences from a regionally accredited doctoral granting institution, and will have documented substantial professional experience, preferably in a learning setting/organizational structure. The candidate will have instructional experience with executive/graduate programs, as well as subject matter expertise and demonstrated professional experience in organizational leadership, adult learning theory, and training. Instructional experience should include face-to-face, hybrid, and fully online modalities. The successful candidate will show evidence of experience and scholarship in one or more of the following areas: leadership theory, performance measurement, and/or organizational behavior.

The preferred candidate will have experience in the dissertation process and will show evidence, experience, and skill in facilitating learning through the use of instructional technology (synchronous and asynchronous). Documented experience in doctoral level culminating projects is preferred. Experience in the use of Learning Management Systems is expected. The program(s) currently use CANVAS as the learning management system.
