Job Description
Job ID: 365403
About the Job Graduate Instructors and TAs are desired to teach clinical,
skills labs, and didactic courses in the undergraduate program in Nursing at the University of Minnesota (Rochester site and/or Twin Cities
site). Graduate Instructors will work collaboratively with faculty at the Twin Cities and Rochester sites as part of the teaching team(s).
The Graduate Instructors would be responsible for preparing educational materials or environment, facilitating student learning in the
clinical site, lab, or lecture hall environment, evaluating students according to course evaluative criteria, and other responsibilities
related to the position.
*Total number of available hours for these positions range from 15% (6 hours/week) to 50% (20
hours/week), or more, depending on the needs of the school.
Program Description: Because the School of Nursing
is a land grant university, and both a top research and teaching institution, it is positioned to approach health issues from all three
perspectives. This is reflected in the school's organizational structure. The School of Nursing is organized in thematic cooperatives. This
enables faculty and students to focus the combined forces of research, education and practice/service on three health care themes, all of
them areas of strength for the school. All faculty participate in a cooperative, each of which is supported by a chair, program associate
and program assistant. As a function of this dynamic cooperative structure, issues raised in practice become research questions, and
research findings in turn can be shared in the classroom and back in the practice setting. The cooperative structure helps the school
realize the true power of a research-driven school. The three cooperatives are: Adult and Gerontological Health, Child and Family Health,
Population Health and Systems. The School of Nursing has programs on both the Twin Cities and Rochester campuses.
Qualifications - Must be a graduate student enrolled for coursework at the University of Minnesota School of
Nursing or other related programs during the academic year.
- Must be a licensed RN.
- Due to the University's status as a
land-grant institution, Minnesota residency is required for this position. Exceptions may be considered and approved on a case-by-case
basis.
