The Student Learning Center (SLC) Writing Lab and Workshop Specialist works under the supervision of the Director of the Student Learning Center. This position is primarily responsible for developing the writing labs curriculum—supplementary small-group workshops that support Otis’s first-year writing curriculum—and facilitating the labs for enrolled students. Otis College, on average, offers 8 labs in the fall semester and 2-5 labs in the spring (approximately 200 students a year). In addition, this position will develop campus-wide student workshops. Part-time hours are 14-25 per week and may include evening and/or weekend hours as needed. This position works during the fall and spring term. Hours over the summer term are offered when the budget allows and based on the needs of the SLC. This is primarily an on-campus position, though there may be occasional opportunities for hybrid work.
**CORE DUTIES and RESPONSIBILITIES**:
- Develops the Writing Lab curriculum under the direction of the Director of the Student Learning Center. Facilitates the Writing Labs, serving as one of the primary instructors.

- Demonstrates expertise in supporting ESL/ELL students.
- Reviews and stays up-to-date with academic standards and curriculum of the Liberal Arts and Sciences Department (LAS) to ensure Writing Labs are in sync with courses.
- Assists with the administrative operation of the Writing Labs as needed, which can include sending official notifications to students regarding course progress.
- Develops and leads workshops to support students in the development of study, organization, time management, conversation, reading, and writing skills, primarily in the spring term. Workshops serve as another service provided by the Student Learning Center to support students in academic success and, as such, will change over time to meet students' academic success needs. Workshops may also align with areas of expertise specific to the person in this role as relevant.
- Develops and provides specialized workshops to support students enrolled in the required senior-level Capstone course during the fall term.
- Provides expert information and guidance as part of tutor preparation and training as needed.
- Helps the Director with the gathering, interpretation, and reporting of Student Learning Center operational assessment data from the Writing Labs and Workshops.
- Answers students' general informational questions.
