This six-minute video is a collection of comments and observations by leading educational developers from several different countries concerning the essential quality enhancement work of centres for teaching and learning like the University of Windsor's CTL.

The Centre for Teaching and Learning at the University of Windsor, Ontario, Canada, invites expressions of interest for the following positions as Visiting Fellow in Educational Development for a period of time to be determined by mutual agreement.

The Senior Visiting Fellow posting is designed for experienced educational developers taking leave from their home institutions and interested in:

1. living and working in a new and stimulating environment;
2. contributing new ideas and perspectives to a campus program "centred on learning";
3. developing SoTL projects in a sabbatical context.

The Postgraduate Visiting Fellow posting is intended to offer recent graduates a kind of apprenticeship experience in the Centre involving:

1. living and working in a new and stimulating environment;
2. gaining experience in educational development programs and practices ;
3. developing familiarity with institutional and policy-based issues;
4. formulating and refining  a personal research and development agenda.

Although the Visiting Fellow will be offered lodging (often for a period of three months) and some support for expenses, the fellowship is not intended to represent the salary normally associated with an academic position. 

Since 2007, the University of Windsor has hosted Fellows from the USA, Canada, Jamaica, Australia, England, Belgium, and New Zealand. Read about past Visiting Fellows and their experiences at the University of Windsor through the menu to the right.

Please send your expressions of interest to the address below. There is no set deadline for expressions of interest, but we will fill these positions as soon as we can.
