The regional, multi-campus university is hiring a full-time Ombudsman to serve nearly 2,000 faculty and staff. The search apparently will fill a position that was created earlier this year and filled on an interim basis.

Applicants should have a master's degree, and five years of experience in higher education, with three years as an organizational ombudsman or related experience in mediation, counseling or employment law. A doctorate is preferred, as well as completion of IOA's Foundations course or mediation training from Consortium on Negotiation and Conflict Resolution.   CO-OP certification or pursuit of certification within one year are also required.
