Professional Leadership Fellow
The Professional Leadership Fellow will be an essential piece in the expansion of professional development offerings to staff and mid-career faculty. This Fellow will directly support the Peer Research Consultants, an established program to guide and mentor faculty as they develop, expand, and disseminate their research agendas. Focusing on leadership, this Fellow will also coordinate across campus to identify areas of need and develop programming to better equip and support our more established campus community members. This Fellow will coordinate with other CFDI Fellows to support the Midweek Mentor by offering topics, videos, and/or speakers that share and describe techniques for growing as a professional, leader, or scholar. Importantly, many events, programs, and opportunities organized by this Fellow will bear the Collaboratory branding. The ideal candidate for this role has demonstrated leadership experience in an academic unit or professional society, is excited to group the CFDI in ways that best serve the campus community, and has a passion for bridging relationships across faculty, staff, and administrators.
Key Responsibilities:
- Program Management: Design, implement, and lead programming and opportunities focused on professional excellence, leadership skills, and scholarly productivity. This includes workshops, seminars, Midweek Mentor, and other collaborative projects.
- Consultation and Support: Coordinate with the Peer Research Consultant team to provide support for faculty in their scholarly endeavors.
- Mentoring & Networking: Develop a network of campus leaders to serve as mentors and contacts for faculty and staff seeking opportunities to grow as professionals in our SIUE community.
- Evaluation: Evaluate the impact of leadership programming on campus community climate, satisfaction, and productivity.
