Job Description:
The College of Science at the University of Notre Dame invites applications for an academic advisor to specialize in working with students pursuing degrees in various science disciplines. Science advisors are responsible for advising students through individual meetings, small group sessions, and other encounters, both formal and informal. Advisors will also assist students in developing those disciplines that promote intellectual curiosity, integrative thinking, and independence.
Science advisors facilitate progress toward this objective by assisting students in reaching nine milestones:
- Connecting with the College of Science community
- Developing a vision for their aspirations
- Managing their learning
- Navigating the College’s administrative and curricular landscape
- Planning their studies
- Evaluating their progress
- Broadening their horizons
- Reflecting on their experiences
- Preparing for the future
The more pragmatic aims of the advising process include guiding students on academic program planning, schedule building, and course selection; monitoring students’ grades; and connecting students to other appropriate resources in the college or the University.
Specific sub-tasks that contribute to achieving these aims include, but are not limited to:
- Explaining the short- and long-term effects of dropping courses and/or changing majors
- Identifying and encouraging participation in co-curricular opportunities that complement the academic programs
- Assisting with planning for study abroad programs and the pursuit of secondary academic programs
- Helping plan for and secure course substitution credit and transfer credit; and providing extra support to students pursuing non-standard programs, such as transfers and students who aim to attend medical or graduate school.
Advisors are also expected to contribute to those tasks shared by Science Advising as a whole through regular participation in faculty and staff meetings, committee work, and other special projects.
Minimum Qualifications
- Master’s degree or advanced certification beyond Bachelor’s.
- At least three years of academic advising at the university level or relevant academic or student support experience.
- A thorough understanding of University and College administrative policies, academic requirements, and admission standards.
- Excellent analytical, interpersonal, and communication skills to work effectively with diverse groups and individuals, both internal and external to the University.
- Ability to work independently.
- Familiarity with personal computers and office software applications including database management, spreadsheets, and student information systems.
Preferred Qualifications
- An academic background in (or familiarity with) a scientific discipline.
- Background in academic advising and/or teaching college students.
- Experience engaging with students from diverse backgrounds
