The following position may be available for the coming academic year,
pending funding.
 
 
                                CRTL Visiting Scholar Position
 
          Rationale
 
          The continual infusion of new knowledge, skills, viewpoints, and
          technologies is integral to maintaining quality and relevance to
          any academic organization. Within a unit that has the expertise
          and potential of NTID's Center for Research, Teaching and
          Learning (CRTL), such stimulation is especially important to the
          promotion of collaboration and vitality.  One method of fostering
          such an atmosphere is to bring in diverse scholars from outside the
          Center to collaborate with us for varying periods of time.  Such
          scholars, to be referred to as CRTL Visiting Scholars (consistent
          with RIT terminology), would work closely with Center faculty and
          staff across all departments as well as with relevant groups
          outside of the CRTL.  The close working relationship with Center
          members is designed to result in skill development, intellectual
          stimulation, and collaborative ties that will endure long after
          Scholars return to their former positions.
 
          Qualifications
 
          A CRTL visiting scholar will typically be a person with long-
          standing, significant experience and credentials related to
          deafness.  Such experience could be in any area relevant to the
          mission of the CRTL.  The person could be from inside or outside
          the University. The experience and academic background of the
          person should be such that both the Center and the individual
          would mutually benefit from a working relationship.  Level of
          support and visiting rank (where appropriate) will be
          commensurate with the Scholar's credentials.
 
          Process/conditions of employment
 
          All proposed CRTL Scholars will submit a letter of intent that
          includes a description of the work to be undertaken during the
          visiting period and a curriculum vitae or resume.  Each potential
          CRTL Scholar must also identify one or more CRTL members who will
          sponsor the person and coordinate the necessary organizational
          details, such as office space, clerical/computer support, and
          schedules.  The time in residence of a  CRTL Scholar may vary
          from one to twelve months, and a CRTL Scholar may reside in any
          of the departments of the Center.  A final summary report of
          accomplishments will be submitted to the Director of CRTL within
          one month following of the end of the visit.
 
          The CRTL Fellow program will follow the Academic Approval of
          Visiting Scholars Policy as accepted by the RIT Faculty Council
          (3/10/94).
