University of West Georgia (UWG) invites applications for limited-term faculty positions in the Humanities, Arts, & Social Sciences. UWG is a public, doctoral comprehensive university offering a broad undergraduate and graduate curriculum with a liberal arts foundation. UWG values student-centered learning and supports growth in enrollment and programs across disciplines.

The University of West Georgia has realized significant undergraduate and graduate growth in enrollment and expanded academic programs in recent years. To meet increased student demand for courses, UWG is expanding course offerings and faculty and staff positions, and we expect to continue to grow into the future for many years to come.

As an expert in your field, we welcome you to join us in service to students and the UWG community. Academic Affairs regularly hires part-time and limited-term faculty (in addition to new tenure-track faculty). These part-time and limited-term positions can lead into more long-term positions, including instructors, lecturers, and tenure-track faculty positions, as part of the UWG faculty recruitment process. Teaching part time and as a limited-term faculty member gives you a chance to experience the UWG community and expand your career opportunities.

Limited-term faculty involve teaching courses (typically four or five courses per semester, negotiable with the dean), some service, and some professional development. You will be supported by colleagues in your discipline with course materials, mentorship, and other resources. As a full-time faculty member, you will have access to all institutional resources to aid your success.
