POSITION SUMMARY

    St. Lawrence College is seeking an experienced and motivated professional who shares St. Lawrence College’s vision to be a globally recognized college, delivering innovative learning opportunities and preparing career-ready graduates to be leaders in their field.

    St. Lawrence College is currently seeking qualified Professors on a part-time basis with experience and expertise in Print Making.

    This position will be primarily located at the Brockville Campus; however, Professors must be willing to teach, as needed, at our campuses in Kingston, Brockville or Cornwall. Candidates must be available to teach Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 am and 8:00 pm.

    The responsibilities of St. Lawrence College Professors include, but are not limited to:

    • Creating a positive learning environment that accommodate students’ diverse culture and educational backgrounds, experience and individual learning preferences;
    • Effectively use educational and advanced technologies, and digital learning methodologies to enhance the student learning experience;
    • Developing curriculum that is appropriately designed and uses evidence-based tools and strategies to support and assess student learning;
    • Utilize principles of adult education to actively engage students in the learning process;
    • Ensuring that course and program curriculum is current and relevant with a lens on the future;
    • Working effectively with learners, colleagues, program and interdisciplinary teams as well as internal and external partners;
    • Effectively use the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning to build a contemporary and evidenced based practice.

    The ideal candidate will meet or exceed the following qualifications:

     

    EDUCATION / CERTIFICATION / DESIGNATION:

    1. Minimum education specific to the position: 3-year Bachelor of Arts degree
    2. Proficiency in traditional printmaking techniques, including but not limited to: 
      1. Relief printing (linocut, woodcut)
      2. Intaglio (drypoint)
      3. Monotype and monoprint
    3. Demonstrated understanding of print studio safety and best practices, including non-toxic methods and safe handling of inks, tools, and equipment (students will be working with blades and other carving tools, and our studio cannot accommodate chemicals used in etching and some other print or image transfer techniques. It is important that the candidate can work safely within the restrictions of our studio).
    4. Experience operating and maintaining printmaking equipment, such as presses, inking stations, and drying racks. (In case someone asks, our main press is an etching press- I think the roller size is 24").
    5. Ability to teach fundamental concepts of image transfer, registration, editioning, and composition within print media.
    6. Ability to demonstrate an informed view of contemporary art practices, issues and criticism, as well as a pluralistic approach to contemporary art making.
    7. A demonstrated art practice or professional experience in printmaking. This would include a portfolio and providing samples of work, particularly editions (a printmaker should be able to 'pull' multiple clean prints of a singular design).
    8. Ability to provide critical feedback and facilitate group critique that supports student growth and artistic development.
    9. Teaching experience using a Learning Management System and virtual meeting technology system.
    10. Teaching experience at the post-secondary level or experience in adult instructions techniques and practice using principles of andragogy and curriculum design experience will be required.
    11. A demonstrated practice supporting a diversity of learners.
    12. A proven track record of life-long learning.
    13. A demonstrated commitment to putting “Students’ First”.
    14. Training in LivingWorks: Suicide Prevention program will be required. Candidates should indicate whether they have completed this training or are willing to engage in this training.
    15. Candidates are requested to list all St. Lawrence College teacher training or equivalent they possess on their resume.
    16. A global mindset, and intercultural knowledge and competence to teach in a global environment including international students is required.
    17. Successful candidates are expected to model and promote our College values of: Students First, Teamwork, Innovation, Integrity and Belonging.

    Candidates who do not meet the education specified but who possess a relevant and acceptable combination of education, training, and a depth of industry experience may be considered.

    Candidates seeking faculty positions with the College will be required to demonstrate the ability to design, facilitate and assess learning in accordance with adult learning principles and universal design in learning (UDL).  An ongoing commitment to professional learning will be expected.

    Successful candidates are expected to have their own computer, reliable internet connection, and the ability to teach remotely or on Campus, as may be required. The use of virtual meetings through video conferencing software will be required in this role.  Professors are also expected to possess or develop proficiency in the use of a Learning Management Software (LMS) to a degree that meets academic standards. 

    All Professors will be provided with support by the School of Contemporary Teaching and Learning in their onboarding and orientation to teach at St. Lawrence College.  Support and coaching is provided to new faculty to provide a a strong theoretical foundation of teaching and learning, and to orient them to the teaching tools and strategies required for teaching in a contemporary and modern learning institution. St. Lawrence College promotes a culture of community in innovative teaching and learning and SLC’s vision of “student’s first” which provides experiential learning opportunities.
