Teaching Positions for 2021-22

(Posted June 4, 2021)

The Department of Economics expects to hire a number of Term Adjuncts for the 2021-22 academic year.

Fall term appointments will be for the period September 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021, with classes in session from September 7, 2021 to December 3, 2021, followed by an examination period.

Winter term appointments will be for the period January 1, 2022 to April 30, 2022, with classes in session from January 10, 2022 to April 8, 2022, followed by an examination period.

Available courses may include:

As these courses are being offered online, successful candidates will also:

  • have regular access to high speed internet and a computer that meets current specifications
  • be willing to take an active role in delivering the course and communicating regularly with students
  • be open to learning how to use the new technologies in order to be effective in the virtual environment
  • be flexible in terms of availability, which may include offering online office hours via the web at times outside of the regular 9-5 work week
  • be willing to provide students with timely and constructive feedback on OnQ
  • be comfortable with working in a partnership with Arts and Science Online in the delivery of the course.

The online course is already developed, so teaching duties would primarily consist of assisting in updating those materials, engaging students throughout the course to facilitate their learning and providing effective feedback. Support from Arts and Science Online will be provided to assist in the management of course activities.

Candidates for any of these positions should have a doctorate in Economics and teaching experience at the University level, or equivalent experience, in the appropriate fields.
