UWG is a leading residential, doctoral comprehensive university that offers a broad undergraduate and graduate curriculum based on a liberal arts foundation. Nestled among the pines on a picturesque 645 acres is the University of West Georgia- a hidden gem approximately 40 miles west of Atlanta.

Serving approximately 14,400+ students, and offering more than 100 programs, UWG is committed to advancing innovative academic programs and a student-centered business model. Perennially ranked by U.S. News & World Report, the Princeton Review, and Colleges of Distinction as a top national university, West Georgia offers 86 fields of study, including business, computing, nursing, education, STEM, communication and digital media, social sciences, and the fine and performing arts.

UWG generates a regional economic impact of more than $650 million annually and provides a safe, quality, and affordable university experience that connects students to post-graduate career and leadership opportunities. UWG has been recognized by the Carnegie Foundation for its institutional commitment to community engagement through teaching, research and creative activities, and public service. West Georgia is one of only 119 U.S. colleges and universities to receive the elective classification in 2020 and is among only 359 institutions nationally.

Dedicated to creating a first-choice university for students, alumni, employees, and communities, UWG seeks employees who will advance and support the University's mission of fulfilling the talent needs of western Georgia and the Atlanta metropolitan area, while contributing to the social, cultural, and economic development of the region and state.

The University of West Georgia is expanding to meet growing demand across its doctoral programs. To support this growth, we are seeking limited-term instructors who bring strong disciplinary expertise, advanced scholarship, and a commitment to high-quality doctoral teaching and mentoring.

Limited-term faculty typically teach 4 courses per semester, depending on program needs, with responsibilities focused on doctoral-level instruction, candidate support, and key program activities. Faculty have access to mentoring, shared course resources, and the full range of institutional support designed to promote excellence in teaching and engagement at the doctoral level.

A terminal degree in the discipline is required for these positions, as instructors play a critical role in guiding advanced scholarship and preparing candidates for leadership and research roles in their fields.

For two of these positions, we are specifically looking for individuals with experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Supporting and overseeing K12 Instructional Technology and/or Curriculum Innovation
• Supporting and overseeing K12 Special Education

These positions often serve as pathways to longer-term opportunities, including instructor, lecturer, or tenure-track roles within the university.

We invite you to submit your CV for consideration. Your expertise and advanced scholarship are essential to UWG’s mission and continued growth in doctoral education.
