Instructional Design Specialist - Emerging Technologies

Compressed Work WeekHybrid · Syracuse, USA

The 4-day week in United States

About the role

Syracuse University is building something new. We’re launching SU Global to reimagine how we support and scale accessible online pathways for non-traditional learners, in a dynamic, innovative, and data-driven environment. That means rethinking how we work.

This role requires on-campus presence because the best ideas emerge from real-time collaboration, the mentorship that happens in hallways, and the spontaneous problem-solving that defines startup culture. You’ll work non-traditional hours when needed – evening and weekend coverage, whatever it takes to deliver the best-in-class experience.

We’re looking for team members who thrive in:

  • High-energy, in-person environments where innovation happens face-to-face
  • Flexible scheduling that follows student needs, not the clock
  • Startup intensity within a world-class university structure

We’re not looking for people who want a job. We’re looking for builders who want a mission.

The Instructional Design Specialist - Emerging Technologies is responsible for designing and developing high-quality online courses while serving as an internal expert in emerging instructional technologies, artificial intelligence, and UX/UI design.

This position plays a dual role, contributing directly to course development and leading the exploration, evaluation, and implementation of innovative digital learning solutions. The Instructional Design Specialist - Emerging Technologies collaborates closely with faculty and cross-functional team members to produce engaging, accessible, and effective learning experiences, while also building institutional capacity through training, documentation, and the development of best practices in emerging technologies.
