Director and Master Teacher - New York UniversityDate: 2010-01-27 00:01:21, Location: North AmericaAbout NEW YORK UNIVERSITY New York University is one of the world's most celebrated academic institutions, and a quintessential part of New York City history and culture since 1831. An enrollment of 51,000 students, fourteen schools, colleges and divisions, and over five million square feet of interior space mark NYU as one of the largest private universities. Job Description The American Language Institute SCHOOL OF CONTINUING AND PROFESSIONAL STUDIES (NYU-SCPS) New York University NYU-SCPS seeks an academic and administrative leader to head its internationally respected American Language Institute (ALI), the nation’s oldest research-university-based center of its kind. The successful candidate for Director will be an experienced and entrepreneurial leader with strong relevant academic credentials, a record of accomplishment in international education and experience with university-level ESOL instruction for matriculating undergraduate and graduate students, as well as for other international populations. The ALI enjoys an earned reputation for effective and innovative teaching. With 18 long-serving full-time and more than 40 well-credentialed adjunct faculty members, the Institute has a vital role in assuring the effective acculturation and language mastery of international students entering NYU’s undergraduate and graduate programs. The ALI also attracts individuals and corporate clients for regularly scheduled and specialized programs of various duration. It also has longstanding ties with institutions around the world that send cohorts of students to NYU to improve their language skills. Benefiting from the NYU infrastructure, the ALI is an increasingly important academic resource for NYU’s dynamic identity as the Global Network University, with fully functioning campus sites around the world. The Institute falls within the Division of Liberal Studies and Allied Arts, one of the eight core academic divisions of the NYU-SCPS. The School is the academic home for more than 4500 undergraduate and graduate students (full- and part-time), and is one of NYU’s five largest (of 15) constituent Schools and Colleges. In addition to its support to matriculated students, the ALI partakes of NYU-SCPS’s historic role as one of the nation’s leading research university continuing education programs: the School as a whole enrolls about 55,000 adult learners annually in professional certificate programs, seminars, workshops, lecture series, and conferences. Criteria for the successful candidate for Director of the ALI: • Evidence of leadership in the design, implementation, and oversight of outstanding academic programs, resulting in demonstrable levels of English language proficiency for academic as well as professional purposes. (These should include curricula that also incorporate sophisticated discipline-specific content.) • Direct experience as an ESOL teacher and in ESOL program management is required, including recruitment, appointment, and general oversight of faculty; curriculum development; experience in marketing strategy, budget development and management; and commitment to faculty and staff development. • Skilled at effective relationship building and intra-institutional collaboration within a large academic organization, and highly collaborative by temperament and experience. • Significant experience with instructional technology and effective pedagogical design, for innovative teaching and learning. • Practiced in working within other cultures and thinking globally—both in terms of outreach and recruitment and core academic content. The successful candidate will be energetic, resourceful, a strategic thinker and effective planner, able to develop and implement a vision for an expanded role for the ALI. S/he will be comfortable within a dynamic but highly decentralized academic environment, and welcome partnering with other academic units to serve and advance the global presence - and globalized character - of NYU-SCPS and NYU in general. In addition to intra-mural collaborations, s/he will be expected to seek out appropriate international collaborations, associations, and connections that benefit the development of the ALI, NYU-SCPS, and the larger university. Applications must be received by March 19, 2010 to be considered. Expected start date is fall 2010. Inquiries, nominations, and applications should be sent to: scps.hr@nyu.edu (please indicate Box 12-10C in the “subject” line); or mail to NYU-SCPS, Human Resources, 25 West Fourth Street, Room 202, Box 12-10C, New York, NY 10012-1119. NYU encourages applications from women and members of minority groups. |
