ABOUT SIMMONS

Located in Boston’s historic Fenway area, Simmons University has a strong tradition of empowering women and challenging traditional gender roles. Simmons was founded for equality 125 years ago as one of the first higher education institutions dedicated to helping women become leaders. Today, our university continues to grow and evolve and now offers Boston’s only women’s undergraduate program and graduate programs open to all.

You’re joining our community at an especially exciting time as we continue to innovate for the future. Simmons recently launched a six-school academic structure that leverages our expert faculty and longstanding expertise in professions that make our communities stronger. In addition, we continue to highlight our high-value education proposition that is delivering greater ROI to students and putting them on the fast track to career growth and success. You’ll find that people who work here truly believe in our mission of preparing students to become social justice-oriented leaders who excel in their professions and their communities. This commitment and pride make for a dynamic workplace.

As a university that values diversity, equity, and inclusion, Simmons encourages applications from all under-represented groups. Simmons is committed to creating, developing, promoting, and enhancing inclusive hiring practices–at all levels, for all positions–ensuring diverse talent pools and the delivery of a consistent positive candidate experience. Simmons is an equal opportunity employer and is committed to continuing to develop a more diverse faculty, staff, student body, and curriculum.

This is a full-time 12-month contract faculty position within the well-established School of Nursing’s pre-licensure programs. The Simulation Center role collaborates with students, faculty, staff, and stakeholders to deliver high-quality simulation-based learning that supports the School of Nursing’s mission and outcomes. Responsibilities include participating in all aspects of simulation experiences in accordance with best practices and regulatory standards.

Teaching Responsibilities

Teaching simulations, or an equivalent as approved by the Dean, is one of the primary responsibilities of this position. The teaching load for this position is fulfilled through full-time on campus simulation instruction rather than by a specified number of didactic course sections.

The faculty’s responsibilities also include:

  • Engaging in all aspects of learning experiences in the simulation center.
  • Eliciting, supporting, and implementing curricula to ensure course and program objectives are achieved.
  • Collaborating with didactic faculty and the simulation center team to ensure congruency between simulation center learning activities and specific program outcomes.
  • Demonstrating commitment to continuous improvement in teaching skills, pedagogy, and attention to equity, inclusion, and belonging in the learning environment.
  • Maintaining knowledge of use, operation, and programming of different simulator technologies, ranging from anatomic models, task trainers, and high-fidelity mannequins.
  • Facilitating and advocating for the incorporation of simulation throughout the campus and actively engaging in integrating simulation-based educational activities into school and discipline-specific curricula.
  • Collaborating with the simulation team to facilitate simulated learning experiences using the appropriate resources and equipment.
  • Contributing to the revision and creation of cases for simulation use, working collaboratively with the simulation team to design engaging and immersive learning experiences.
  • Evaluating student achievement of expected student learning outcomes using formative and summative methods.
  • Providing demonstrations in the simulation center for prospective student groups and visitors, and participating in orientation sessions related to the simulation center.
  • Providing support, through office hours and other means, to ensure every student is involved in a positive educational experience through learning, teaching, and intellectual engagement.

Service Responsibilities

  • Advising students at the pre-licensure level.
  • Participating as a team member in curriculum development and maintenance.
  • Participating in program, school, and university meetings, committees, and activities.
  • Participating in faculty governance and program evaluation.

Professional Engagement Responsibilities

All contract faculty are expected to maintain currency in their discipline and licensure as required to carry out their duties at the University, including:

  • Participating in professional development to remain relevant in discipline.
  • Maintaining certifications and licensure, if applicable, to continue currency in the field.
  • Maintaining involvement in the broader academic and professional community in accordance with disciplinary/professional standards.
  • Performing other duties as assigned.

  • Creative problem solver
  • Strong and effective communicator
  • Ability to work on teams
  • Demonstrated ability to work with students across a broad range of social and personal identities and perspectives

Contract faculty are expected to adhere to all applicable Simmons policies.
