Westcliff University is seeking qualified candidates for the role of a full‑time College of Technology and Engineering faculty member to support its mission, core values, and student success. We are a forward‑thinking, student‑centric, quality‑driven higher education institution. Our goal is to hire, develop, and elevate full‑time faculty who exemplify these values.

Under the guidance of the Dean and Program Chairs, full‑time faculty members provide exemplary instruction and support to Westcliff University students. They have appropriate teaching credentials, including being academically qualified and having taught at least five courses at the undergraduate or graduate levels before a full‑time appointment. Potential candidates must possess a terminal degree in their field, coupled with considerable industry experience and proven excellence in both online and on‑campus teaching formats.

They must also have strong experience in Software Development, including Web Development and the ability to travel once or twice a year to our satellite campuses to attend Professional Weekends or to teach at our international affiliate institutions (about 10% travel).

A full‑time faculty member’s primary commitment is to Westcliff’s mission and student success. While “full‑time” equates to an average of 40 hours weekly, excluding vacations and paid holidays, there could be times where additional hours are necessary. We expect faculty members to be present on one of Westcliff’s campuses whenever possible to foster faculty collegiality and enhance student accessibility. Faculty are expected to hold regular office hours virtually to ensure access for colleagues and students throughout the year.

Full‑time faculty members must commit a minimum of 40 hours weekly. Within this framework:

• A minimum of 75% (~30 hours weekly) is allocated for teaching, doctoral committee, or doctoral chair endeavors, including preparation, instruction, facilitation, support, and evaluation.
• Faculty take active roles in teaching weekend professional format courses. Full‑time faculty are required to attend and participate in three (3), twenty‑four hour, Professional Weekend Residencies per academic year.
• Outside of classroom commitments, faculty maintain a strong commitment to student success.
