Job Description:

The University of Toledo College of Health and Human Services is seeking a lecturer who will contribute to the success of the Occupational Therapy Doctoral (OTD) and Toledo Transition (T2) programs.

The OTD program offers a pre-professional, entry-level OT degree. It is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE). It admits 20 students per cohort. UToledo offers undergraduate degree programs in Recreation Therapy and Health Science with pre-OT concentrations, creating opportunity for OTD program faculty to engage with undergraduate learners.

For the OTD Program, responsibilities will include teaching (undergraduate and graduate courses), mentoring OTD student capstone projects, and facilitating interprofessional education.

The Toledo Transition program is a non-degree certificate program for young adults seeking an inclusive college experience that prepares them for gainful employment.

For the T2 Program, responsibilities include coordinating person-centered academic and internship experiences for learners with intellectual and developmental disability. The lecturer will oversee T2 course offerings and supervise program coaches.

We seek an enthusiastic candidate with strong skills in advocacy, communication, and organization. The ability to plan, implement, and monitor learning experiences is central to all facet of the role. The position requires a regular on-campus presence.
