Academic Discipline Specific Technology Professional
an Emerging Job
Overview and Implementation
Discussion
Presented By Rod Kelly BS, CCP, EMBA
When, What & Why: IT Framework creation• Cross-campus project team of academic and technology professionals• Discovered jobs that were more complex than pure IT professionals
heavily integrated with academic disciplines included direct research or instructional support information technology expertise
• Job matches in the market survey data were not available• Incumbent ‘employee types’ reflected all designations• No consistent job titles, requirements, content, pay opportunities• Strategic Plan for the future was referenced
Who and How: Cross-discipline/campus Task Force developed• Job title series• Job summaries• Market-based pay ranges
DiscoveryAcademic Discipline Specific Technology Professional
2
Internal Survey• Interviewed Managers/Directors in all Colleges and Departments
that evidenced these jobs emerging• Created ADSTP Job Summaries
External Survey to 60 AAU Peer Institutions to benchmark use of, and, job summaries, salary structure, etc• 4 Responses –
2 similar 1 included Principal Investigator;1 matched
“Instructional Learning”, however, at weaker match than ADSTP
• This initiative was pioneering new workforce development ground!

1. Support faculty and researchers in making effective decisions regarding commercially
available and discipline-specific IT resources during all phases of curriculum development and/or
research projects (e.g. project planning, instructional design, scholarly publishing, research,
text analysis strategies, data collection, data mining, information security, data storage, data
analysis, report generation) and implementation of these decisions. May assist with writing grant
proposals and papers.
2. Develop and maintain discipline-specific digital resources, databases and management systems.
3. Develop applications, data collection strategies and scholarly publishing strategies to meet
instructional and research needs. Design and develop web front and back-ends to efficiently collect, store, manipulate and report research.
4. Perform full IT start-up for new instructional teams, grants, labs. Set up, install and maintain
discipline-specific software.
5. Conduct programming assignments requiring a broad knowledge of programming procedures and
the discipline. Compile data from various software programs with non-standard file formats.
6. Learn how to use the rapidly changing technologies deployed or available for application in the discipline. Create customized IT solutions
required for the instructional design and/or research problem. May serve as guest lecturer
and teach short courses.
1. As the Academic Discipline Specific Technology Professional – Associate level, the incumbent is required to have either in-depth understanding of his/her discipline OR significant IT
knowledge, including the full breadth of IT functions.
2. Incumbent must have excellent project management skills and the ability to work with University faculty, IT professionals, students
and other staff.
3. Incumbent must be resourceful and creative. Incumbent is forward-thinking, continuously scanning the global discipline-
specific IT community, and ensuring that faculty and other staff are aware of new technology applications.
4. Incumbent should have or gain in-depth knowledge of the selected discipline as well as information technology and its applications, including multiple communication technologies. Incumbent should have the ability to collaborate with multiple
stakeholders, synthesize needs/requirements and create solutions; provide project-appropriate analysis, design and
programming; provide high performance computing guidance and support; integrate and blend research or data into audio/video
format for collection/storage and expanded purposes.
5. Incumbent should have knowledge of research methodology and/or curriculum design (e.g. scholarly publishing strategies; research or data security regulations as well as laws governing
privacy and security; qualitative and quantitative research methodologies; data mining; linear modeling hierarchy where
applicable; operation and repair of technical equipment; conducting research/experiments.)
6. Examples of discipline-specific skills which may be required include scholarly publication and editing; data/statistical analysis,
hierarchical linear modeling (HLM), data mining, geographical information systems (GIS.)
1. Incumbent will address discipline-specific IT problems and will use knowledge gained through education, experience,
judgment and innovation in creating solutions.
2. Incumbent advises and collaborates with faculty in
decision-making.
3. Incumbent is focused on using IT to optimize the
effectiveness of the research enterprise and/or optimizing
the student learning experience.
4. Incumbent translates instructional and research
requirements into publication, data collection, data integrity
and data storage requirements and facilitates data mining.
1. Results of actions and decisions may impact the
University’s instructional goals and research initiative.
2. Errors may impact the ability of the University to obtain grant and research funding and its
reputation as a teaching university.
1. Interacts with various levels within or outside the University including
Faculty, Principal Investigators, Deans, Directors and Department
heads.
2. Interactions are frequently of two major types: with
faculty/researchers with limited knowledge of information
technology and with information technology professionals with
limited knowledge of the discipline. In either case, the incumbent must
possess highly effective communication skills, flexing
communication to fit the listener’s needs.
3. Incumbent must possess excellent written communication skills as well in order to convey
technical guidance and information to users. Incumbent must carefully
document data practices, for potential inclusion in research
papers and professional journals.
1. This is the journey level for the academic discipline specific professional.
2. This is not an entry-level position; incumbents in these positions typically have already had work experience in the IT field or have had academic
post-doc or research assistant/associate experience.
3. At this level, the incumbent has fully developed knowledge in either IT or the assigned discipline.
o Skills: At the Associate level, incumbent possesses either significant discipline knowledge (as evidenced by Master’s or doctoral degree) or significant IT knowledge and experience (as evidenced by some combination of IT degree and work experience.)
o Level of Work: Applies skills to solve most problems without review.
o Supervision: Performs most work assignments with minimal supervision.
o Interactions: Associate level incumbents interact similarly to Specialist level incumbents, regularly interacting with faculty, information technology professionals, staff, student workers, teams and management.
o Focus: Associate level incumbent regularly uses IT processes, tools and applications for achieving faculty instructional and research goals.
