The teaching positions are temporary and can span one term (thirteen weeks) or multiple terms, depending on departmental needs. Applicants are encouraged to submit a letter detailing their qualifications, a current resume or CV, and unofficial transcripts, with optional documents such as teaching philosophy and evaluations also welcomed. The primary responsibility of the adjunct faculty member will be to teach courses in Business, which may include areas such as Management, Marketing, Accounting, Finance, Operations, Human Resources, and more. The Business Department also offers certificate programs in various fields. Candidates should specify their areas of expertise in their cover letters. The position requires a commitment to student learning and retention, and successful candidates will engage in normal instructional activities, including academic advising, maintaining office hours, and course planning. Teaching may involve direct instruction, assessment, and providing practical experiences in labs or workshops. Additionally, faculty members are expected to participate in professional development and service activities, which may include mentoring student research projects and engaging in scholarly activities. This position is classified as exempt under the Fair Labor Standards Act, meaning it is not subject to overtime regulations. The role is part-time and does not offer benefits, and candidates must successfully complete a criminal background check. Teaching assignments may vary, including online, hybrid, and in-person courses, and may require flexibility in scheduling, including evening and weekend classes. The university emphasizes its commitment to diversity and inclusion, encouraging applicants who share this commitment to apply.
