Job Description:
The Minerva Schools at KGI (the Keck Graduate Institute) are designed to prepare students to become innovators and leaders in a wide variety of disciplines. Our aim is to reinvent higher education at every level, from how we define the curriculum to how we teach. All teaching is done using the Minerva Active Learning Forum cloud-based software, which supports real-time, synchronous seminars (ranging from 15-19 students) with high levels of faculty-student interaction. All Minerva classes are seminars that use active learning to help students learn to think critically, think creatively, and communicate effectively about the material, and to develop knowledge on their own; no traditional information transmission per se occurs during class.
We seek both half-time and full-time faculty at the Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor level; all faculty must have a Ph.D. or comparable degree, and must be comfortable with new technology, passionate about undergraduate teaching, flexible, and willing to embrace innovative pedagogical approaches based on the science of learning.
Email the following to facultyapplications@minerva.kgi.edu
• A cover letter explaining why you believe you would be a good fit to teach a specific Minerva course.
• A current C.V.
• The names of, and contact information for, three people who will write a letter of recommendation; we are particularly interested in people who can attest to the quality of your teaching, your general quality of mind, and your openness to new pedagogical approaches.
• In addition, please have your three recommenders send their letters to facultyapplications@minerva.kgi.edu with your name in the subject line.
Applications should be submitted by 30 November 2014.
See www.minerva.kgi.edu for more information.
