Job Posting summary:
We are seeking a new tenure track faculty member to play a leading role in the way information literacy and course content delivery methods are taught at Mat-Su College. The successful candidate will be an outgoing and dynamic individual who possesses both the ability to communicate clearly and an interest in how and why instructional technology works.

The college serves the 88,000 residents of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough. The Borough is approximately the size of West Virginia, but the vast majority of the residents live within an hour's drive of campus.

Collaborate with the MSC Center for Advancing Faculty Excellence and UAA Faculty Technology Center to develop workshops for college faculty on effective methods for the delivery of course content using the teaching tools that are available to them.
Maintain good working relationships with the staffs of the Mat-Su College Computer and Technology Services Department and the UAA/APU Consortium Library to stay current on available products and services in order to provide instruction on them.
Provide reference service. Evening and weekend hours will be required.
