Description

To increase diversity within the faculty, the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing has established the Diversity and Equity Teaching Fellowship. Early career nurse educators/scholars are sought for the rank of Assistant Professor on the clinical track within the Nell Hodgson Woodruff School of Nursing (NHWSN), who will spend the first year of their faculty appointment as an Equity and Inclusion Teaching Fellow focused on teaching excellence. Our commitment to an inclusive culture and a diverse nursing faculty is fundamental in realizing our goals to excel in nursing education and contribute to national efforts to address faculty shortage and health care needs of the increasingly diverse U.S. population. The NHWSN Equity and Inclusion Teaching Fellowship is designed to optimize the fellow's success in a primarily teaching-focused (non-tenure track) academic position. The fellowship will have four primary areas of focus: 1) nurse educator competencies, 2) leadership in the academy, 3) scholarship in the academy, and 4) life-long mentorship development to advance diversity.

Fellows selected for the position will be appointed as Assistant Professor, clinical track and spend 50% effort in teaching, 10% effort in service, and 40% effort focused on equity and inclusion teaching fellowship activities including professional development and mentoring in the tripartite areas of teaching, scholarship, and service. We encourage individuals from historically underrepresented groups within the nursing faculty workforce to apply, particularly those whose teaching and scholarship focus on enhancing excellence in diversity, equity, and inclusion in the classroom and clinical settings. Upon completion of the fellowship, individuals will transition to a customary Assistant Professor, clinical track workload and responsibilities.
