Adjunct Faculty: Physician Associate Studies 2027
About The Position
The Department of Physician Associate Studies at Augsburg University invites applications for adjunct faculty positions to teach Graduate courses in 2027. This search will establish a “pool” of instructors for potential openings in Spring of 2027. Responsibilities include teaching students through small group facilitation, including courses in Anatomy, History and Physical Examination, and Clinical Practice Seminar. In addition, the PA department may have opportunities for clinical instructors in hospital or clinic-based settings. Available courses vary by term. Most classes are held during the day, 2-3 days per week. In addition to teaching the class and grading student work, instructors are expected to respond to student questions through email, hold regularly scheduled office hours, reach out to students with course progress information, and communicate regularly with the course coordinator. A course syllabus with calendar, textbook and homework selection, sample activities and exams, and shared office space are typically provided. Most classes are taught in-person on our Minneapolis campus. Each course requires approximately 12-15 hours/week for 15-16 weeks. The successful candidate will possess both a high level of intercultural competency and a commitment to inclusive practice and authentic representation.
