The UIC Honors College seeks applications for one or two positions of Honors Postdoctoral Fellow in Teaching and Mentoring for the Fall 2015 - Spring 2016 academic year, with the possibility of a one-year extension. Those who obtained a doctoral degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago in the last three years (since AY 2011-2012) are eligible to apply. This position is structured to provide honors undergraduates with a faculty-in-residence for teaching and mentoring resources, and to provide a new PhD with an exceptional opportunity to gain teaching and advising experience under the mentorship of the Honors College Dean and Associate Deans, in preparation for a tenure-track job, especially at an institution that values teaching.
The Fellow will teach one 3-credit freshman general education class in Fall semester and two in the Spring semester, as well as a section of the 1-credit Honors freshman seminar or junior seminar, advise a cohort of honors freshmen and some Honors Capstone thesis students, and serve as co-Director of the Chicago Signature Honors Program (an extra-curricular initiative that engages UIC Honors students in Chicago’s diverse cultural and intellectual opportunities).
For fullest consideration, submit by May 11, 2015: (a) a cover letter addressing the candidate’s teaching and mentoring experiences and interest in honors education and this position, (b) curriculum vitae, (c) contact information for two potential recommenders; and (d) syllabi and teaching evaluations from classes taught as primary instructor or teaching assistant. Please email applications as a single PDF attachment to Christina Ruiz (cruiz2@uic.edu), to whom questions may be addressed.
The successful candidate must earn the PhD before August 1, 2015. For more information about the Honors College, please visit www.uic.edu/honors
