The Department of Instructional Leadership and Academic Curriculum in the Jeannine Rainbolt College of Education at the University of Oklahoma-Norman Campus is pleased to invite passionate, creative, innovative, and dynamic individuals with practical and scholarly experience to be part of a robust program and academic community. We are seeking applications for a full-time (nine-month), rank renewable term, assistant professor position to teach in and administer the First Year Experience Program. We seek candidates who are devoted to the welcoming and challenging of first year education majors.

The responsibilities of the position consist of but are not limited to teaching courses in the First Year Experience (FYE) Program; administering the FYE program, including the hiring of instructors and organizing shared experiences for students within the college and wider university; providing service to the department, college, university, and profession; and participating in other activities as appropriate. The FYE program is geared to help first-year students explore their educational past, present, and future. To deepen the understanding of learners and learning, the course considers three general questions: What is and what counts as learning? What are the significant influences on education and schooling? What is the role of society and community members in shaping and sustaining education systems?
