Description:

Postdoctoral Educational Researcher

The Department of Linguistics at the University of British Columbia invites
applications for a Postdoctoral Researcher to serve as part of UBC's Flexible
Learning Initiative, a multi-year program for study of and innovation in
teaching and learning in the Faculty of Arts, at a salary of $62,700 annually.

We seek individuals to work with faculty leads on their projects in this
department, with other postdocs, ArtsiSIT (instructional support & technology)
staff, and other campus units (the Centre for Teaching and Learning;
Information Technology; etc.) to develop and coordinate Linguistics courses
and curriculum. You will be given training opportunities led by educational
researchers, evaluation experts and teaching experts as well as technology
experts to support your work.

You will be a key member of the Flexible Learning Project team, and you will
be involved in a range of educational research and development activities;
developing course and program level learning objectives, assessments, and
pedagogical designs; administering and evaluating assessments of student
learning and of student approaches to studying Linguistics; and supervising
and guiding development and testing of teaching and learning materials
including technology-enhanced learning resources.

Project teams will focus on areas such as activities for the development and
retention of fundamental disciplinary skills, assessment tools to track these
skills, and IT-based resources to support these skills across the curriculum.

Candidates should have completed a Ph.D. in Linguistics, and have teaching
experience (ideally including undergraduate and introductory courses).
Candidates should have excellent organizational, interpersonal, and
communication skills, a strong personal commitment to Linguistics teaching and
pedagogy, and an ability to work independently and meet deadlines. English
fluency is required. Experience in educational materials or curriculum
development, on- line teaching, project management, databases, or multi-media
technology will be considered assets, as will a broad knowledge of different
sub-areas of Linguistics, and familiarity with current pedagogical research
and IT learning resources at the post-secondary level.

UBC hires on the basis of merit and is strongly committed to equity and
diversity within its community. We especially welcome applications from
visible minority group members, women, Aboriginal persons, persons with
disabilities, persons of minority sexual orientations and gender identities,
and others with the skills and knowledge to productively engage with diverse
communities.

Canadians and permanent residents of Canada will be given priority.

The appointment will be for 1 year, starting September 1, 2016. Applicants
should submit a CV, statement of teaching interests, and three reference
letters to the application address below.

Deadline: June 15, 2016.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
