Job Description Summary The Office of Academic Advising and the Program for Leadership and Character at Wake Forest University seek a visionary, creative, and caring teacher-scholar to become the Postdoctoral Fellow in Leadership and Character for Pre-Health Professions. The Fellow will work closely with the Associate Dean of Academic Advising in the College, the pre-health advising team, and the Program for Leadership and Character to provide an intellectual foundation for pre-health advising, mentoring, and teaching that focuses on the integration of leadership, character, and purpose into pre-professional education and vocational discernment and development. The Postdoctoral Fellow will design and teach one course in the Interdisciplinary Humanities Program entitled “Humanities and Medicine” that explores the ethical, political, and social implications of healthcare and helps undergraduate students discern their professional identity and develop virtues of leadership and character relevant to the practice of medicine. The Postdoctoral Fellow may also potentially teach one other course in Interdisciplinary Humanities depending on their expertise and departmental needs. The Postdoctoral Fellow will also provide individualized mentoring and coaching within the Office of Academic Advising to undergraduate students considering healthcare professions; develop and organize workshops, speakers, and events on leadership, character, and professional identity that introduce students to the ethical, personal, and professional dimensions of pursuing a career in healthcare; and create opportunities for Wake Forest College students to connect with relevant partners and programs in the College and School of Medicine. The Postdoctoral Fellow will work to promote access to leadership in healthcare professions among students from underrepresented racial, socio-economic, and other groups. The ideal candidate will exhibit scholarly expertise in leadership, ethics, healthcare, and/or the medical humanities and demonstrate a commitment to personal mentoring, transformative teaching, and student development as leaders of character.
