A new Teaching Fellow Programme
Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 is starting a new Teaching Fellow Programme. This is a selective programme in which Teaching Fellows spend two days a week working on an educational reform project, either within a faculty (across multiple degree programmes) or university-wide. The Fellow will take a scholarly approach and will, during the course of the fellowship, broaden his/her knowledge of the field of education. After three to five years, successful completion of the programme will culminate in a nomination for a position as professor with a special emphasis on education.
Aim of the programme is to strengthen educational leadership within the university and to increase the number of professors with a special focus on education. With this programme Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 wants to reward good teaching and learning and stress the fact that career advancement is also possible through excellence in teaching (and not only through excellence in research). The programme also aims to promote innovation in teaching and learning and to increase the overall quality of education.
Teaching Fellows will play a key role in improving teaching and learning at Utrecht 木瓜福利影视. They will be an inspiration to their colleagues.
Application
The programme is open to candidates from within and outside Utrecht 木瓜福利影视. Applications can only be nominated by one of the deans at Utrecht 木瓜福利影视. That is important because deans will have to support the appointment of the Teaching Fellow, the educational reform project they are planning to undertake and the possible future nomination for a professorship. For 2017, the deadline for submitting an application is 15 November 2016.
