The University of Connecticut (UConn) School of Nursing is seeking applications to fill one full-time, 11-month, Clinical Instructor/Assistant/Associate/Full Clinical (Non-Tenure-Track) Professor position. This person will act as the Director of Simulation-Based Education with the main campus (Storrs) as home base. Appointment at the assistant or associate professor level, non-tenure-track basis will depend on the qualifications and preferences of the applicant.

The University of Connecticut (UConn) is entering a transformational period of growth supported by the $1.7B Next Generation Connecticut (http://nextgenct.uconn.edu/) and the $1B Bioscience Connecticut (http://biosciencect.uchc.edu/) investments and a bold new Academic Plan: Path to Excellence (http://issuu.com/uconnprovost/docs/academic-plan-single-hi-optimized_1).

The School of Nursing's base is located on UConn's main campus in Storrs, a mixed suburban/rural setting in the rolling hills of eastern Connecticut.
