Andrew W. Mellow Postdoctoral Fellowship in Design
Center for Pedagogical Innovation - 1318

Full-Time, 2-year, Faculty Posting

Wesleyan University’s Center for Pedagogical Innovation invites applications for an Andrew W. Mellow Postdoctoral Fellowship in Design beginning July 1, 2017. We seek a scholar who is broadly trained in the many areas of design across the arts, humanities, and humanistic social sciences, including familiarity with engineering as it relates to a liberal arts curriculum. Candidates will be expected to have an advanced degree in a field related to design in hand or near completion. The teaching load is 2/1. Additional duties include (1) organizing a spring workshop on the pedagogy of design that will offer training in new pedagogical tools and strategies and emphasize inclusive pedagogy techniques, and (2) assisting in the development of a new student competency, “navigating complex environments,” and the assessment of this competency. This position will offer research and/or travel funds and is renewable for a second year contingent upon performance.

Candidates will be expected to have an advanced degree in a field related to design in hand or near completion.

You will be asked to upload electronic versions of the items we require, which are (1) a cover letter of application, (2) a curriculum vitae, (3) a writing sample, (4) statement of current research, and (5) documentation of teaching experience, including teaching statement, course syllabi and student evaluations. As part of the cover letter or teaching statement we invite you to describe your cultural competencies and experiences engaging a diverse student body.

You will also be asked to provide the email addresses of three referees from whom we may obtain confidential letters of recommendation (please double-check the accuracy of the email addresses of the referees you name to insure that you have the most up-to-date email addresses for each one).

After you have submitted all of the required documents, you will see a confirmation number. At that point, each of the three referees whose email address you have provided will receive an automatically-generated email requesting that he or she submit a letter of reference for you.

Applications completed by Tuesday, February 21, 2017 will receive full consideration.

Please contact Lisa Sacks at lsacks@wesleyan.edu or 860-685-3248 if you have questions about the application process.
