Purdue Global Clinical Coordinator​/Faculty School of Nursing; Anamosa, Iowa

Our Opportunity

The Clinical Coordinator/Faculty role will provide support to Purdue University Global. Building on Purdue University's mission to provide greater access to affordable, high-quality education, Purdue University Global is a public, nonprofit institution offering a world‑class education online.

Successful candidates in this role will reside in the Cedar Rapids, IA metro area or within a commutable distance. The simulation site is located at The Center for Healthcare Education and Simulation 1795 IA-64, Anamosa, IA 52205.

This role is a clinical coordinator position and faculty position. The incumbent will typically teach a theory course or do clinical and/or labs along with the clinical coordinating responsibilities and based on University needs.

Full‑time faculty may have responsibilities in four areas: teaching, service, scholarship, and professional development. The amount of time spent in each area is determined on an annual basis, after discussion between the faculty member and their Program Head, and may vary from year to year. The workload is based on the needs of the Department and School, consistent with the university’s mission as a teaching institution.

While the majority of faculty typically spend the greatest percentage of their time teaching, there is the opportunity in a given year for the percentage of time in any category to change.

Teaching responsibilities may include undergraduate ASN courses. The number of courses assigned will consider credentials, program needs, course types, the number of different preparations, and the number of students served.

Service will typically include participating in and/or taking leadership roles in Purdue Global department or institution‑wide governance committees. Service examples also include course lead, training and mentoring other faculty, facilitating student‑focused organizations or activities, the evaluation of student portfolios, curriculum work, vacation relief for colleagues, and leadership in professional organizations. In limited cases, specific service activities may be assigned additional compensation.

Scholarship activities vary with the interests of the individual faculty member and may not be required. Scholarship activities should be developed in consultation with the Dean, Associate Dean or Program Head. Examples of PG scholarship activities include developing and implementing solutions or new approaches to academic and professional challenges, as well as publishing articles related to research within the discipline or profession and/or presenting at academic or professional meetings.

Some professional development (8 hours) is required for all faculty over the course of a year. Faculty development beyond these minimum expectations may be considered part of an annual workload, if determined appropriate by the Academic Program Head or requested by the faculty member and approved by the Program Head.

A balance of these four responsibilities is intended to sustain the academic goals of the university to serve adult learners, and advance the professional goals of the faculty, while creating a supportive learning environment that provides students with a clear path to graduation.
