    College is a private, four-year, independent coeducational liberal arts and
    sciences college of 1900 undergraduate students. It is located on a
    90-acre campus in downtown Colorado Springs, on the front range of the

    College is committed to increasing the diversity of the college
    community. Candidates who can contribute to that goal are particularly
    encouraged to apply and to identify their strengths or experiences in this

    ESSENTIAL DUTIES
    The Humanities Academic Technology Specialist assists faculty in their

    network, and user support services related to information technology. This
    position involves considerable collaboration with faculty members to
    integrate technology into the curriculum. This position will: instruct
    faculty members in the use of desktop computers and applications; develop
    WWW pages; provide training in presentation software and hardware;
    supervise student workers or paraprofessionals; and actively seek and
    communicate technological information to faculty members relevant to their
    specific interests. Specific duties include but are not limited to:
    - Provide primary support and single point-of-contact for faculty and

    literature; drama and dance; German, Russian, and East Asian languages;
    English; music; philosophy; religion; Romance languages).
    - Provide assistance and information to centers and special purpose
    laboratories related to the Humanities.
    - Work as part of a team of divisional computing specialists and

    as well as the specific academic area of expertise of each specialist,
    under the direct supervision of the Director of Academic Computing and User
    Services.
    - Must be able to support the individual technological needs of
    faculty in connection with teaching and scholarship and find appropriate
    technological resources, applications, and/or solutions; occasional
    programming support for special projects.
    - Must be committed to achieving excellence in providing service to
    users.
    - Regular, timely communication with the Director of Academic
    Computing and User Services, as well as the Director of Information
    Technology Services, regarding ongoing services provided to faculty members
    is critical.
    - Perform other related duties as assigned or requested.

    experience, should be in an appropriate field. A minimum of three years'
    experience in information technology services and previous experience in an
    academic setting are also required.

    Significant experience with multimedia (different peripherals and software
    packages for presentation and authoring) is required, as well as a detailed
    understanding of both Macintosh and Windows computing platforms as they
    interact with a networked environment, and programming skills as evidenced
    by previous experience with at least one computer language (e.g., C++ or
    Visual Basic).

    Additional requirements include strong cooperative work style and ability
    to work well within a team; dedication to excellence in service and
    delivery of academic technology support; excellent oral and written
    communication skills, time-management and problem-solving skills; and a
    strong willingness to acquire new knowledge and skills using initiative, as
    required by the technical challenges in this environment. The successful
    candidate will be committed to the mission of a liberal arts college, will
    support and contribute to the goal of achieving greater diversity at
    Colorado College, and will be able to work effectively with the many
    constituencies in a college environment.
