Fitchburg State University has created an “Open Pool” vacancy announcement for part‑time day and evening adjunct faculty by discipline. The faculty chair and the divisional dean/associate vice president will review applications when there is a specific need for part‑time adjuncts to fill a course scheduled in the academic year for both the day and/or evening classes.

Applicants will designate their preference for teaching in the day, evening, or both. Please attach a letter of interest and resume when applying for any part‑time teaching position.

Applications submitted will be maintained from July 1st through June 30th for each academic year. At the conclusion of the academic year the pool will be refreshed and applicants will be required to reapply. Applications selected to be maintained in the pool will remain active for a three‑year period.

Candidates selected to teach for the university are required to complete a CORI and the Student Clearinghouse Authorization form prior to hire. These will be sent out via an email welcome along with other pertinent preliminary information. The form provides authorization to the university to qualify degrees held through the National Student Clearinghouse. If the university is unable to qualify a candidate’s degrees, the candidate will be required to submit official transcripts for all degrees held to the Office of Human Resources & Payroll Services, 160 Pearl Street, Fitchburg, MA 01420.

If selected to teach, three letters of recommendation will also be required.
