Overview

Dr. Alice de Koning (Academic Director of the Hunter Hub for Entrepreneurial Thinking) has decades of experience in entrepreneurship pedagogy, with a focus on experiential learning within the classroom and place-based learning in communities. As the University of Calgary implements the Ahead of Tomorrow strategy, faculties and instructors will appreciate educational resources and support to implement relevant and engaging Entrepreneurial Thinking content in their courses.

The RA/GAR will provide support to the Academic Director and instructors to relate the available toolkits of entrepreneurial thinking and entrepreneurship pedagogy to various disciplines. These efforts may lead to publication opportunities. The RA/GAR may also co-author scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) research papers. In addition, the RA/GAR may be involved in helping to organize and promote workshops to instructors interested in entrepreneurial thinking pedagogy, coordinate a community of practice, support instructors, update the (as yes non-existent) website, and manage the mailing list.

Job Description:

  • An interest in professional and academic writing for the purpose of presentation and publication.
  • Experience with research software is an asset.

Applications should include a CV and cover letter describing why you are interested in the position and how you see yourself contributing to the Street Challenge project.
