About the position
Oklahoma Christian University invites applications for adjunct faculty positions in several disciplines and assignments to courses for delivery through various modalities, including on-campus and online. Required qualifications vary from department to department, but a discipline-related master's degree or a combination of education and relevant professional experience are generally required. Candidates with terminal degrees and other specialized training are also highly desired. Adjunct appointments are part-time (typically one or two courses) and made on a semester-by-semester basis but often result in recurring assignments within a regular course rotation. Adjunct openings frequently occur with short notice, so the Oklahoma Christian Human Resources office accepts adjunct applications at all times. This is an on-campus, in-person position.
