<p>American International University (AIU) is a private institution in Kuwait, founded in 2019, offering undergraduate programs in Engineering, Architecture and Design, Business Administration, Arts and Sciences, and Education, delivered in English on the American model of higher education. AIU serves a community of over 3,000 students and is executing the RISE Strategy 2026–2030 a five-year institutional transformation anchored in research development, WSCUC international accreditation, student success, and community engagement.</p><br>
<p>Faculty excellence is one of AIU's greatest strategic assets and an essential enabler of every pillar of the RISE Strategy. Outstanding teaching, meaningful scholarship, effective service, academic leadership, and institutional innovation all depend upon attracting, supporting, developing, recognising, and retaining exceptional faculty. The Director of the Office of Faculty Affairs is responsible for creating an institutional environment in which faculty thrive throughout their academic careers, strengthening academic excellence, shared governance, leadership development, and institutional effectiveness while supporting AIU's ambitions for WSCUC accreditation and long-term academic distinction.</p><br> <p>For more information, visit: www.aiu.edu.kw</p><br> <p><span>Department Profile</span></p><br>
<p>The Office of Faculty Affairs (OFA) is AIU's institutional hub for faculty success, academic engagement, academic career development, shared governance, and institutional faculty excellence. Operating under the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs, the Office serves all Schools, the Foundation Programme, and future graduate programmes, working collaboratively with more than 120 full-time faculty together with adjunct, visiting, and future clinical faculty.</p><br> <p>The Office is established as one of AIU's strategic academic support units under the RISE Strategy, with the Director serving as its founding leader responsible for developing the Office's policies, programmes, partnerships, operational culture, and long-term strategic direction. Working collaboratively with Human Resources, Deans, Department Chairs, the Centre for Teaching & Learning, the Office of Graduate Studies, the Office of Research and Scholarly Activity, the Registrar, Quality Assurance, Student Affairs, Library Services, and other institutional units, the Director ensures that faculty-related academic matters are coordinated consistently across the University while maintaining a clear distinction from Human Resources' employment responsibilities.</p><br> <p>The Office complements—but does not replace—the responsibilities of Human Resources. Human Resources remains responsible for employment administration, contracts, payroll, benefits, immigration, and employee relations, while the Office of Faculty Affairs provides academic leadership, coordination, guidance, and support on matters relating to faculty success, academic development, governance, academic progression, recognition, and institutional effectiveness.</p><br> <p><span>The Office carries four interconnected institutional mandates:</span></p><br>
<p><span>1. Faculty Success & Engagement</span></p><br>
<p>Building an academic environment in which faculty are supported throughout every stage of their academic careers through mentoring, engagement, recognition, wellbeing, professional growth, leadership development, and institutional support.</p><br> <p><span>2. Academic Career Development & Recognition</span></p><br>
<p>Supporting promotion, academic rank progression, leadership development, succession planning, recognition, awards, and continuous academic growth.</p><br> <p><span>3. Academic Policies & Shared Governance</span></p><br>
<p>Promoting transparent governance, institutional consistency, academic integrity, faculty participation in decision-making, and continuous policy development.</p><br> <p><span>4. Institutional Excellence & Faculty Effectiveness</span></p><br>
<p>Supporting institutional effectiveness, accreditation, academic quality, faculty engagement, strategic planning, and cross-functional collaboration in support of AIU's long-term academic mission.</p><br> <p><span>Scope of Work</span></p><br>
<p>The Director of the Office of Faculty Affairs provides strategic and operational leadership across six interconnected institutional domains that collectively support faculty excellence, institutional effectiveness, academic quality, and shared governance.</p><br> <p>The Director serves as the University's principal academic administrator for faculty affairs, providing leadership in the development and implementation of faculty-related academic policies, career development initiatives, governance structures, recognition programmes, academic support services, and institutional planning. The Director is simultaneously a strategic advisor, policy leader, governance specialist, faculty advocate, organisational developer, and institutional partner. This is not a role focused on employment administration; rather, it is a leadership position responsible for creating an institutional environment in which faculty are supported, recognised, developed, and empowered to contribute fully to AIU's academic mission.</p><br> <p>The Director operates primarily as a strategic leader, advisor, facilitator, and institutional partner, working collaboratively with Human Resources and other University offices rather than duplicating their operational responsibilities.</p><br> <p>This position requires a leader capable of building relationships across the institution, promoting collaboration, supporting faculty success, and ensuring that faculty-related academic processes are fair, transparent, consistent, and aligned with AIU's strategic priorities.</p><br> <p><span>Key Responsibilities</span></p><br> <p><span>1.

<p><span>Position: </span><span>Director, Centre for Teaching & Learning (CTL)</span><br></p><br>
<p><span>Classification:</span> Director Level<br><span>Reports To:</span> Vice President for Academic Affairs <br><span>About The American International University</span></p><br>
<p>American International University (AIU) is a private institution in Kuwait, founded in 2019, offering undergraduate programs in Engineering, Architecture and Design, Business Administration, Arts and Sciences, and Education, delivered in English on the American model of higher education. AIU serves a community of over 3,000 students and is executing the RISE Strategy 2026–2030 a five-year institutional transformation anchored in research development, WSCUC international accreditation, student success, and community engagement.</p><br>
<p>Teaching and learning excellence is one of the University's principal strategic foundations and an essential enabler of every pillar of the RISE Strategy. Without it, research does not flourish, accreditation evidence is weak, students do not succeed, and employability outcomes disappoint. The Director of the Centre for Teaching & Learning is the person who builds, sustains, and continuously improves that foundation making this one of the most consequential academic leadership appointments AIU will make.</p><br> <p>For more information, visit: www.aiu.edu.kw<br></p><br>
<p><span>Department Profile</span></p><br>
<p>The Centre for Teaching & Learning (CTL) is AIU's institutional hub for teaching excellence, faculty development, and learning innovation. It operates under the Office of the VPAA and serves all five schools and the Foundation Programme working with over 120 full-time faculty and a growing adjunct complement. The CTL is newly established as one of AIU's strategic academic support centres under the Office of the Vice President for Academic Affairs. The Director serves as its founding leader, responsible for building the Centre's programmes, culture, partnerships, and institutional reputation from the ground up.</p><br> <p><span>The CTL carries three interconnected institutional mandates at AIU:</span></p><br>
<ol>
<li>Faculty Excellence & Development: Building a culture of teaching excellence across AIU through structured professional development, peer observation, new faculty induction, individual coaching, and the scholarship of teaching and learning.</li>
<li>Learning Innovation & Digital Education: Advancing instructional design, educational technology integration, and evidence-based pedagogy ensuring that every AIU course, regardless of modality, reflects current best practice and produces documented student learning outcomes.</li>
<li>Assessment, Accreditation & Institutional Evidence: Generating, curating, and maintaining the teaching and learning evidence that WSCUC accreditation requires the CTL Knowledge Repository, SLO assessment data, faculty development participation records, and the annual Teaching & Learning Impact Report.</li>
</ol> <p><span>Scope of Work</span><br></p><br>
<p>The Director of the Centre for Teaching & Learning provides strategic and operational leadership across five interconnected domains all of which must function simultaneously and reinforce each other.
