CAE Call for Faculty Liaisons

The Center for Academic Excellence invites applications from full-time faculty across the university to serve as Faculty Liaisons during the 2023-2024 year. The Center seeks applicants who are enthusiastic about supporting faculty development and innovation in teaching and learning.

Faculty liaisons support the work of the Center in several ways, including: 1) facilitating communication and engagement between their school and the CAE; 2) conducting Mid-Semester Evaluations of Teaching (MATs); 3) taking a lead role in supporting a faculty development initiative, workshop or event; 4) consulting with faculty about their teaching; and 5) supporting and promoting the priorities of the Center. We encourage applications from faculty with experience or interest in pedagogical uses of AI in the classroom; mentoring faculty teaching for Bellarmine; inclusive teaching and community-building in the classroom; and mentoring new faculty and beginning academic leaders.

Compensation for faculty liaisons is $2,500 for one semester (liaisons are hired for fall, spring or full-year terms). We are also looking to hire liaisons to focus expressly on conducting MATs; these liaisons will earn $1,250 (please indicate if you are applying for the MAT-only position). Faculty interested in applying should send a one-page description of their faculty development experience and interests (as well as their fall/spring availability) to cae@fairfield.edu by August 4, 2023. Questions can be directed to Emily Smith at esmith@fairfield.edu.
