Instructional design based on learning theory; Adult learning theory; Familiarity with or understanding of a range of graduate student experiences; Facilitation in small and large group contexts; Familiarity with project management; Learning and/or content management systems.

A successful applicant will have a Bachelor's or Master's degree. Experience as a graduate student and/or teaching assistant is a plus.

Minimum Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree and two years relevant experience, or an equivalent combination of training and experience.

Position Details:
