Candidates must have the demonstrated capacity through previous online and/or face-to-face teaching and learning experience to teach within the curriculum of both undergraduate and graduate programs, and have the ability to work collaboratively within a team environment and contribute substantially to the development of the School.

Experience in the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) is considered an asset. Candidates should have knowledge and experience related to online learning, including instructional technology skills for distance program delivery. A successful candidate will also share the School’s commitment and sensitivity to respect for diversity.
