About The Position

The Science and Mathematics Department is seeking applicants for adjunct faculty positions in mathematics. In-seat classroom positions are available on the main campus and at Oxford High School.

Adjunct openings often occur on short notice as additional sections of classes open based on enrollment numbers. Applications are always welcome. The Science and Mathematics Department consists of five faculty members who share a vision to develop professionals that recognize the value of stewardship and care in God’s world. Adjuncts are a significant part of our community and are invited to participate in department meetings, university activities, and mentorship initiatives.
