The CUNY Graduate Center’s newly-founded Teaching and Learning Center invites applications for a Teaching and Learning Center Fellow. This year’s GC TLC Fellows will support CUNY Graduate Center students who are teaching across CUNY by staffing office hours, developing research projects related to teaching and learning at CUNY, producing support materials and a web site for the Center, and planning public programs. The Center will offer training in emerging pedagogical practices and tools, including educational technology, digital practices, web-enhanced courses, learning assessment, syllabus structure, assignment design, and academic integrity.  It will also offer individual consultation and teaching observation services, workshops and programs, and provide ideas and tools to students to improve their teaching skills and portfolios.  This is a terrific opportunity to join a team of committed educators who are thinking through what a graduate-level teaching and learning center at the nation’s largest, urban, public university should look like.

GC TLC Fellows report to the Director of the Teaching and Learning Center, Dr. Luke Waltzer. Luke comes to the Graduate Center from Baruch College where he was the Director of Baruch’s Center for Teaching and Learning. He holds a Ph.D. in American history from the Graduate Center (2009) and a B.A. in American culture from the University of Michigan.

Ideal candidates will be experienced college teachers familiar with emerging pedagogical trends, and be deeply engaged with the City University of New York. Strong writing, technical, and presentational skills are required, as is current enrollment in a doctoral program at the Graduate Center.

Compensation and Benefits: total compensation for this fellowship is approximately $27,000. This funding will include a graduate assistant appointment that will carry eligibility to purchase the low-cost NYSHIP health insurance, a stipend, and in-state tuition remission for fellows who are within their first 10 registered semesters of study. Teaching and Learning Center Fellows will be required to work a total of 450 non-teaching hours during the academic year (two 15-week semesters). This position comes with the possibility of reappointment.

To apply: please send a statement of interest (no more than 1-2 pages), a CV, and the names of three references via email to Dr. Luke Waltzer at lwaltzer@gc.cuny.edu.  Review of applications will begin on August 31, and the position will be filled as soon as possible after that date.
