About The Position

The School of Technology for Public Health (STPH) is establishing a pool of instructional Academic Associates and Faculty Associates for the 2026/2027 academic year. Successful candidates support undergraduate and graduate courses, as assigned and consistent with their qualifications. Courses may be delivered in person, online, or in a hybrid format. These are one-semester (8- or 16-week), fixed-term appointments with no tenure implications, are not benefits-eligible, and may not exceed 0.40 FTE. Hires must be available for the full appointment. The number of courses depends on program needs, funding, and sufficient student enrollment. Individuals may not hold multiple non-benefits-eligible appointments at ASU. Salary is a flat rate based on FTE. This recruitment establishes a part-time pool for temporary and semester appointments; applications are considered for the current academic year only. Academic Associates support courses under the direction of a faculty instructor. Their duties may include evaluating student work and assigning grades, providing constructive feedback, moderating discussion boards, facilitating course activities, communicating with the instructor, meeting with students to support mastery of course content, responding to student inquiries, and assisting with course assignments, assessments, and materials. Faculty Associates teach assigned courses and are responsible for instructional delivery. Their duties may include developing or adapting syllabi and course materials, teaching, assessing and grading student work, providing feedback, holding office hours, monitoring student success, responding to academic issues, and maintaining course records and submitting required materials by deadlines. Both roles require regular professional communication with students and faculty, timely responses to student questions, effective use of learning management systems and instructional technology, support for a positive learning environment, participation in required meetings and training, appropriate escalation of student or course concerns, and completion of assigned responsibilities throughout the appointment.
