English Adjunct Faculty

About the role

Olympic College is continuously recruiting English Adjunct Faculty (part-time) to primarily teach composition and research courses at its Bremerton Campus. The college seeks applicants dedicated to student-centered learning, closing achievement gaps, supporting diversity and social justice learning opportunities, and using data-informed decision-making in instruction. This recruitment establishes an applicant pool for future vacancies; individuals will be contacted as openings occur.

Responsibilities

• Teach primarily English composition courses in accordance with the college catalog, using agreed-upon course outlines and developing syllabi aligned with English 101, 102, and/or 235 Student Learning Outcomes and departmental guidelines.
• Teach day and evening classes in person; some may be located on branch campuses in Poulsbo and Shelton.
• May also include teaching accelerated composition courses in the industrial learning program at PSNS (Puget Sound Naval Shipyard); base access is required. These sections run on an intensive schedule (two weeks of instruction, two weeks off, then two more weeks) equivalent to an 11-week quarter-length course.
• Teach in-person and/or hybrid composition courses.
• Provide class syllabi to students enrolled by the first day and to the division office by the 10th day of each quarter.
• Contribute to English Assessment efforts as needed.
• Respond to students’ queries in a timely fashion.
• Identify individual learning needs and make appropriate adjustments in learning environments and activities to meet those needs.
• Punctually communicate with students, faculty, staff, and administrators.
• Perform other related duties as assigned and/or required.

At the time of hire, adjunct faculty typically do not teach asynchronous (fully online) courses; new adjuncts are generally assigned in-person and hybrid sections. Teaching in this modality may become possible in the future.

• College teaching experience.
• Availability to teach during the day and in person.
