HOURS: 6-8 hours per week

JOB CLASS: Part-Time

EXEMPT STATUS: Non-Exempt (hourly)

A Faculty Apprentice (FA) will work closely with a designated faculty member to gain training in

either (1) course development, preparation of class sessions, lecture development, and grading,

(2) research and editing, (3) for academic administration, such as assisting a faculty member to

organize a conference, or (4) a combination of the above. The goal is to train and prepare

advanced students for future careers in academia. To that end, the FA will be meeting regularly

with the designated faculty member to receive continued mentorship and feedback regarding

their work.

In the case of (1), Teaching, an FA will be assigned to work with a regular faculty on a course

that is already developed by the faculty with a syllabus, lesson-plan and signature assignments.

As part of their training, the FA is expected to be responsible for class discussions and some

grading, and may also contribute to teaching (but not substantially). Other tasks may include

completing assigned readings as part of professional development, creating lesson plans, or

maintaining the course website.

In the case of (2), Research, an FA will be assigned to work with a regular faculty who has a

documented research or writing project to which the student can contribute. As part of their

training, the FA is expected to help progress the project by, for example, checking references,

reviewing text, searching further resources, liaising with contributors for an edited volume.

In the case of (3), Administration, an FA will work with a faculty member who is organizing a

conference or colloquia, or other academic gathering(s), to learn how such events are

conceived and executed. As part of their training, the FA is expected to assist the faculty

member with administrative activities that are routine in academic life, such as liaising with

presenters, constructing a timetable, supporting the digital side of conference Q&A, and

helping with promoting the event.
