The Dalhousie School of Information Management (SIM) invites
applications for a two-year term appointment at the Lecturer level
commencing 1^st July 2010.
The School offers two graduate programs and contributes to a
collaboratively delivered undergraduate program. At the graduate level,
SIM provides the American Library Association (ALA)-accredited Master of
Library and Information Studies (MLIS) program and the mid-career
external program Master of Information Management (MIM). At the
undergraduate level, the School provides core and elective courses in
the Bachelor of Management program, notably in the provision of the new
Knowledge Management major.
The School is part of the interdisciplinary Faculty of Management, with
the Schools of Business Administration, Public Administration, Resource
and Environmental Studies, and the Marine Affairs Program. The Faculty
of Management has a unique commitment to values-based management with a
focus on sustainability and on getting things done. We seek an
additional colleague who will contribute to, and thrive in, this
environment. Information about the School may be found at
sim.management.dal.ca
This position is co-funded by the School, the MIM program and Bachelor
of Management program. Given this funding imperative, the successful
candidate will have:
*
MLIS or equivalent degree from an accredited program
*
Professional experience in the private or public sectors as a
qualified information professional
*
Experience teaching at the graduate level is preferred. Experience
in undergraduate teaching, as well as with online tools and
pedagogy, will be an asset
*
Prior experience of relevance for marketing the MIM program
including strong presentation and negotiation skills will be
important for the principal service contribution of this position.
*
Due to the MIM program requirements for this position, research
experience relating to the private or public sector will be an asset
As the School's strategic goals include continued accreditation of the
MLIS program, the expectation is that the successful candidate will
teach one or more required MLIS courses. Therefore, prior experience in
teaching core courses in such a program will be an asset. The School's
strategic goals for the Bachelor of Management program include the
launch of a Knowledge Management major and, therefore, background and
experience relevant for delivering a core course in KM will be an asset.
The successful applicant will have professional, research, or prior
teaching experience relevant for teaching an elective course in the MIM
program in one of the following three areas of need: Project Management,
Collaboration, or Governance, Security and Privacy. Marketing of the MIM
program in the private and public sectors is a required component of
this position and will require some travel, notably to Ottawa and
Toronto. Further information about the MIM program may be found at
mim.management.dal.ca
