About the Job

Graduate Instructors will work collaboratively with faculty at the Twin Cities and Rochester sites as part of the teaching team(s).

Program Description

Because the School of Nursing is a land grant university, and both a top research and teaching institution, it is positioned to approach health issues from all three perspectives. This is reflected in the school's organizational structure. The School of Nursing is organized in thematic cooperatives. This enables faculty and students to focus the combined forces of research, education and practice/service on three health care themes, all of them areas of strength for the school. All faculty participate in a cooperative, each of which is supported by a chair, program associate and program assistant. As a function of this dynamic cooperative structure, issues raised in practice become research questions, and research findings in turn can be shared in the classroom and back in the practice setting. The cooperative structure helps the school realize the true power of a research‑driven school. The three cooperatives are: Adult and Gerontological Health, Child and Family Health, Population Health and Systems. The School of Nursing has programs on both the Twin Cities and Rochester campuses.

Qualifications

• Must be a graduate student enrolled for coursework at the University of Minnesota School of Nursing or other related programs during the academic year.
• Must be a licensed RN.
• Due to the University's status as a land‑grant institution, Minnesota residency is required for this position. Exceptions may be considered and approved on a case‑by‑case basis.

This is an open, continuous recruitment posting with applications reviewed on an ongoing basis.
