Fellowship Opportunity

Additionally, two graduate fellow positions are available with CNDLS and only available to CCT applicants. The Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship (CNDLS) is Georgetown University's center for teaching and learning, and is responsible for a number of projects relating to faculty and graduate student professional development, the scholarship of teaching and learning, and teaching with technology. The graduate fellows will help with the overall operation of CNDLS and work on a variety of projects involving pedagogical and scholarly innovation. The deadline for this fellowship application and for consideration is January 15th and is to be submitted with an individual's application for admission.

The details of this fellowship are:

Fifteen hours per week; stipend of $7,000 per semester for one academic year, with the possibility of continued employment during the second year on an hourly basis. Students must maintain a full time academic load over the two semesters that they hold the CNDLS Graduate Associate post.

• Technical/Media position – this requires advanced technical skills (website design and development, blog design and development, social media skills, possible graphic design, film/video, and photography as well, etc.) and will be engaged in some aspect of technological support of educational technologies and tools.

• Writing/Communication/Research position – This does not require advanced technical skills and will instead focus on writing and communication projects (composing, editing), assessment projects, technology projects, or projects involving research on student learning. The position does not require high technical skill, but some basic technical competency is important.
