Position Summary:

Albertus Magnus College seeks a visionary and collaborative faculty leader to serve as the Inaugural Director of the Carol G. Ditkoff '67 Immersive Learning Collaboratory. Opening at the start of the 2026-27 academic year, this position represents a momentous opportunity to bridge administrative leadership with bold pedagogical innovation. As the first institution in New England to implement Dreamscape Learn (DSL), Albertus Magnus College is positioning itself at the forefront of the haptic immersive learning movement, and the Director will be the primary architect of this transformation.

The Director provides strategic leadership and administrative oversight for the Ditkoff Collaboratory, including the supervision of the support staff to ensure the facility's seamless integration into campus life. Beyond mere management, the Director will shepherd the Collaboratory from its initial implementation to its full realization as a hub for student success. This role requires an inspiring advocate who can encourage faculty adoption across all disciplines, helping colleagues translate cutting-edge technology into meaningful classroom experiences.

As the Center's chief ambassador to both internal and external audiences, the Director will connect the dots between the future of immersive technology and the enduring values of the College's Dominican mission and liberal arts traditions. The successful candidate will ensure the Collaboratory is not just a high-tech facility, but a catalyst for creativity and inclusive excellence.

This is a 12-month administrative faculty position with a rotating three-year appointment. To accommodate the intensive demands of the facility's launch, the teaching load is structured as follows: 0-0 for the inaugural year, 1-2 for the second year, and 2-2 thereafter. Any teaching load exceeding these requirements must be approved by the VPAA prior to scheduling.
