Description:

The Alliance for Catholic Education (ACE) at the University of Notre Dame
invites applications for a full-time faculty position with an intended start
date of July 01, 2018 to support the work of the English as a New Language
(ENL) program. The Alliance for Catholic Education is housed in the Institute
for Educational Initiatives (IEI) at the University of Notre Dame. The
position includes significant teaching, delivery of professional development,
research, and program development components.
 
English as a New Language (ENL) Program:
ENL employs a threefold approach which invites schools, leaders, and teachers
to develop a deep understanding of the process of second language acquisition,
employ research-based instructional strategies, and cultivate culturally
sustaining classrooms in the context of the unique realities of Catholic
schooling. ENL’s efforts are rooted in four main outreach efforts: formation
of Hernandez Fellows through graduate level study, onsite and online
professional development, resource creation and research (articles, podcasts,
texts, webinars, publications, etc.), and two-way immersion school
development. We are seeking a scholar who will embrace this mission with zeal
and with the ability to navigate and advance these four outreach efforts.
 
ENL exists in the context of the larger Catholic School Advantage (CSA)
initiative, the national movement committed to promoting the value and
accessibility of a quality Catholic education among Church and school leaders,
educators, and families. The work of the CSA is committed to embracing the
universality of the Church by increasing Latino enrollment, educating
culturally and linguistically diverse children through excellent academic
formation, and empowering all Catholic school stakeholders through the
celebration of faith, language, and culture. ENL faculty work closely with the
broader CSA team. Applicants are encouraged to learn more about the Alliance
for Catholic Education and its programs at http://ace.nd.edu.
 
Qualifications:
Competitive applicants will have relevant academic preparation and experience,
including disciplinary background in English as a second/new language, English
learners, language acquisition, first and second language literacy
development, bilingual education, and cultural diversity in a K-12 setting. An
advanced degree in education or a closely related field of study from an
accredited institution of higher education is preferred, but consideration
will also be given to candidates who demonstrate a solid progress toward
completion of an advanced degree by June 15, 2018. Preference will be given to
terminal degrees.

Application Instructions:
Applicants should submit the following documents:
- a cover letter indicating the candidate’s background, credentials, and
experience in the area of English as a second language / English learners /
language acquisition, experiences in working with Catholic schools, as well as
their research and teaching interests;
- curriculum vitae;
- 3 letters of recommendation that speak to the applicant’s proficiency in the
content domain, teaching, research, and ability to work as a member of a team.

Equal Opportunity Employment Statement:
The University of Notre Dame seeks to attract, develop, and retain the highest
quality faculty, staff and administration.  The University is an Equal
Opportunity Employer, and is committed to building a culturally diverse
workplace.  We strongly encourage applications from female and minority
candidates and those candidates attracted to a university with a Catholic
identity.  Moreover, Notre Dame prohibits discrimination against veterans or
disabled qualified individuals, and requires affirmative action by covered
