Join the emergent Learning Design Lab ( LDL) in Learning Design and Innovation and help our team of learning and technology professionals to explore, design, reflect, and share across Dartmouth's teaching and learning communities. Learning Designers at Dartmouth bring the best out of teaching and learning across a variety of modalities.

Great, you'd make a welcomed addition to our collaborative and cross functional team to work with instructors who want to support student learning. Are you interested in designing inclusive and innovative online learning experiences? Awesome, you'll be a great colleague for supporting our degree and non-degree online programs to work with our professional schools and partners! Do you enjoy lifelong learning, mentoring, problem solving, identifying quality standards, and sharing knowledge? Join us in establishing a community of learning design practitioners where we all grow and flourish.
We believe in both working collaboratively and in ways that work for each of us as individuals. Our team is hybridized with employees in all formats (in-person, hybrid, and fully remote). We are committed to designing a work environment that allows each and every individual to excel. This position can be performed remotely. We prefer a candidate that is able to travel to Hanover, NH, on a periodic basis (e.g. four times a year) for various team and operational needs with the department's support.
