  Dear Dr. Franklin:



I am hoping you might be able to assist me in filling a new vacancy for a
tenure-track Assistant Professor in Instructional Design & Technology at
West Texas A&M University in Amarillo, Texas.



We are a different kettle of fish. We are deeply committed to transferring
practical marketable skills to our students in our terminal M.Ed program. A
large percentage of our students live and work entirely outside the K-12
world.

97% of our students *do not* go on to a PhD. Most of our students are
working professionals and many are already Web designers, computer
trainers, adult educators, etc. Their interest in theoretical constructs
and supporting research could be charitably described as modest. What they
are interested in is skill expansion.

So the core competences that we require of the new faculty member will be
engineer-level skills in Adobe applications such as Dreamweaver, Captivate,
InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, as well as artistic talent in graphic
design. Someone with years of paid experience as a Senior Instructional
Designer of online learning objects would be perfect.



Here is the link to the job description:
https://jobs.wtamu.edu/applicants/jsp/shared/frameset/Frameset.jsp?time=1401310669798
and
I would be happy to visit with you on the phone if you have questions about
this position. I have also attached a copy of the announcement.



This job is clearly not for the more research- and theory-oriented
scholars, but for a ID practitioner with a PhD, it might well be their
dream job.



Many thanks,



Dr. Rich Rose

Associate Professor
