Adjunct Faculty: Physics 2026-27
About The Position
The Department of Physics at Augsburg University invites applications for adjunct faculty positions to teach undergraduate courses in 2026. This search will establish a “pool” of instructors if such openings occur during Fall of 2026 or Spring of 2027. Applicants may be selected from this pool on an as-needed basis throughout the year. 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.
