About The Position

Butler University's Master of Science in Nursing Entry-to-Practice (MSN-ETP) program in the College of Health Professions is hiring a full-time, 12-month, non-tenure-track faculty member at the assistant or associate professor level. Academic rank will be commensurate with the candidate's experience and qualifications.

The position involves teaching nursing in classroom, clinical, laboratory, and simulation environments.

The anticipated position start date is January 2027. Applications will be reviewed beginning immediately and accepted until the position is filled.
