The person chosen for this position will integrate faith and learning in the classroom while contributing to a collaborative, Christ-centered academic community committed to the mission to “educate students to become servants of Christ to make a difference in today’s world.”

The role emphasizes excellence in teaching and provides opportunities for scholarship and service, with particular attention to meaningful student engagement in small class settings where faculty can know students well and invest in their intellectual and spiritual formation. Faculty should possess a strong academic background, a commitment to a Biblical worldview, and a desire to work alongside colleagues in a collegial and supportive faculty environment.

They will be expected to teach undergraduate courses in their area of specialization while also supporting the broader needs of the Business Department through teaching additional business and related courses.

Faculty will advise students academically and mentor students spiritually and professionally while contributing actively to curriculum development and program improvement.

This position provides the opportunity to shape course design, influence program direction, and participate in substantive curricular conversations that directly affect student learning and outcomes. Faculty will engage in departmental, college, and community initiatives as appropriate and will play a meaningful role in guiding students’ academic paths and vocational direction.

Adjustments to teaching responsibilities may be made in accordance with the College’s workload policy based on the types of courses assigned and the extent of the faculty member’s responsibilities in other areas. All Bryan faculty are expected to follow the policies, guidelines, and instructions in the Bryan College Faculty Handbook.
