Head Coach, Women's Basketball
The position has been filled and we are no longer accepting applications. Thank you.
Connecticut College, a highly selective private liberal arts college in New London, CT, and a member of the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC), is accepting applications for the position of Head Coach of Women’s Basketball.
This is a full-time appointment with adjunct faculty status beginning July 1, 2009. Primary responsibilities involve coaching and coordinating all aspects of a Division III women’s basketball program, teaching Physical Education classes, and/or administrative duties as assigned by the Director of Athletics. Requirements include Bachelor’s degree (with Master’s degree preferred), and a strong preference for coaching experience in women’s basketball at the collegiate level or higher. Successful candidates will have experience recruiting student-athletes capable of succeeding at a highly selective liberal arts institution in one of the most competitive Division III conferences. Candidates will also have the highest ethical standards with regard to NCAA and NESCAC rules.
The successful candidate will join a committed department dedicated to providing for our students an environment that allows them to strive for excellence in the classroom and in intercollegiate competition. Our coaches are faculty members who have coaching, teaching, and administrative responsibilities in the Department of Physical Education & Athletics. Their commitment to the mission of the College is demonstrated by their full integration into the life of the campus community.
Connecticut College educates students to put the liberal arts into action as citizens in a global society. A private, highly selective institution in New London, Connecticut, mid-way between New York and Boston, the College is notable for its strong academic programs, friendly campus, and emphasis on broad interdisciplinary teaching and research. With a student/faculty ratio of 10/1, students learn from their professors in classrooms, studios, labs, and across the residential campus and the entire globe. The intimate size of our community (approximately 1900 students from 45 states and 70 countries) fosters collaboration among faculty, staff and students.
The College’s Board of Trustees, President, administration, faculty and staff share a commitment to diversity. We foster the values of equity, inclusion, and respect for all human differences, for these are essential to the fulfillment of our mission. Structural evidence of this commitment can be seen in our Center for Comparative Study of Race and Ethnicity, the positions of senior diversity officer and dean of multicultural affairs created several years ago, our Unity House Multicultural Center, and the diversity programming sponsored by many departments across the campus. The College is also an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer.
Compensation for this position will be commensurate with qualifications and experience and includes excellent benefits. Full consideration will be given to files received by April 20, 2009 with the position remaining open until it is filled.
To apply, send letter of application, resume, and three letters of reference to:
