JOB DETAILS:
Position Title: Teaching & Learning Officer (T&LO)
Reports to: Director of Teaching & Learning
Group/Department: University of Global Health Equity (UGHE)
Location: Rwanda
Organizational Profile
The University of Global Health Equity (UGHE) is a new kind of university focused on training the next generation of global leaders in health care delivery. The university launched in Rwanda in September 2015 with its flagship degree: Master of Science in Global Health Delivery (MGHD). Through an academic experience uniquely rooted in the values of equity, students are empowered to both ease suffering at the bedside and drive transformational, systemic changes to the health system.
UGHE is an initiative of Partners In Health (PIH), an internationally recognized non-profit organization whose mission is to provide a preferential option for the poor in health care. In over nearly three decades of operating alongside public sectors in countries around the world, PIH has developed a model to deliver high quality healthcare to some of the world’s most marginalized communities. Nowhere has this impact been more profound than in Rwanda, where Inshuti Mu Buzima—PIH’s sister organization—and our government partners have driven innovation for a decade.
Members of the UGHE community are tenacious and resolute in our drive to attain social justice, make common cause with those in need, listen to and learn from others, and operate with honesty and humility as we uphold academic integrity and intellectual curiosity. UGHE seeks individuals committed to these values to join the team.
Role Overview
The Teaching & Learning Officer (T&LO) will build and support UGHE’s innovative academic programs, which currently includes the Master of Science in Global Health Delivery (MGHD) but will also include future offerings such as medicine, nursing, dentistry, and doctoral studies. UGHE’s academic programs are built upon active learning approaches, leveraging education technology and exemplifying world class quality. The T&LO ensures that this vision is executed in every class by collaborating with global teams, including individuals from Harvard, Tufts, Yale, and the Rwandan government and NGO communities.
The ideal candidate has a strong academic background in global health, research, and management and can effectively apply his/her expertise to the UGHE curricula, infusing high quality and innovative pedagogy and content, and is excited about the opportunity to join a fast-moving, equity-focused start-up.
