Postdoctoral Research Associates and Lecturers, College of Arts
6 months ago
In October 2019 , the Faculty of the College of Arts & Sciences voted to fully adopt a new general education curriculum for its undergraduates, composed of three conceptually related components: the Engagements, Literacies, and Disciplines. Postdoctoral Research Associates , in consort with faculty College Fellows, serve as instructors of record in the Engagements: a series of 2-credit courses designed to foster intellectual sensibilities that are generally deployed across all realms of inquiry. Courses align with one of four pillars: Engaging Aesthetics, Empirical & Scientific Engagement, Engaging Differences, and Ethical Engagement. Postdoctoral Fellows are responsible for developing two courses in one (or two) of the Engagement pillars . For more information about the Engagements, visit: .
P ostdoctoral Research Associates teach six sections of their Engagement courses (2 credits each). In years two and three, should the contract be extended, Research Associates continue to develop and teach six sections of their Engagement courses (2 credit s each) per academic yea r .
Postdoctoral Research Associates are expected to pursue a vigorous research agenda grounded in the liberal arts and sciences. They are active participant s in the College Fellows - a cohort of faculty drawn from across the College and entrusted with crafting a unique and compelling first-year general education experience for A&S undergraduates. In addition, Research Associates are expected to participate in (and possibly lead ) College Fellows sponsored events such as lectures for the University community, symposia, and seminars regarding the Liberal Arts & Sciences at UVA. Administrative duties include participation in bimonthly professional development sessions and select general education committees that relate to the implementation of the curriculum . T hese duties are assigned by the Director of the College Fellows.
