College House Fellows Wanted: December 20 |
|
November 17, 2015, Volume 62, No. 14 |
In anticipation of multiple College House Fellow openings for the academic year 2016-2017, the Offices of the Provost and of College Houses and Academic Services invite applications for service as College House faculty. The position of College House Fellow is residentially based and carries a two-year renewable term.
Faculty applicants from all 12 schools within the University are welcome to apply. The most important qualification is an enthusiastic interest in mentoring and engaging undergraduate students within the College House environment. Members of the University’s full-time administrative staff in academic or student affairs, as well as post-doctoral fellows who will be in their positions for at least two years, are also welcome to apply.
House Fellows play a key role in connecting the Houses to the larger academic community at Penn. Faculty Masters, House Fellows and the House Dean form the senior staff of each House and are responsible for developing a home for residents that encourages intellectual inquiry, promotes academic programs in residence, fosters faculty and student interaction, and builds strong, supportive House communities. Specific responsibilities will differ from House to House, but the general time commitment is approximately 5-10 hours per week.
We are seeking applicants for at least six House Fellow positions, including in the New College House, which will open in August 2016. Please consider this unique opportunity and encourage colleagues who may be interested to apply. Submit applications by December 20.
