Adjunct Instructor - Composition

Description Position Summary

The Calumet College of St. Joseph English & Media Communications Program (EMCO) seeks applicants to fill available adjunct faculty positions for the Fall 2026 semester.
Instructors are needed to teach undergraduate courses in developmental and first-year composition.

The ideal candidate will have taught first-year composition courses and have worked well with underprepared and first-generation college students from diverse backgrounds. Strong written and oral communication skills are required, both as a professional and as someone teaching those skills to others.

The position requires limited participation in on-campus events and attendance at occasional faculty meetings and training sessions outside of normal teaching hours. Opportunities to teach other courses in the EMCO program and the college’s general education curriculum may be available in current or future semesters, depending on qualifications. Additional optional work as a writing tutor in the Student Success Center may also be available.

To qualify for these assignments, candidates must have a minimum of a master’s degree in the content area (English, Literature, Composition and Rhetoric, Creative Writing, Communications, et al.). A terminal degree is preferred. Adjunct faculty may teach up to three sections per semester.

To apply, submit a cover letter explaining your interest and qualifications, curriculum vitae, with three references complete with contact information and any teaching evaluations.
