We are currently looking for faculty to teach in‑person courses during the day and in the evening on the Downtown Lansing campus. Adjunct positions are filled by semester on an as‑needed basis. Applicants in this applicant pool are reviewed when the department has an immediate need to fill a vacancy. Review of applications will then stop for the semester once the vacancy has been filled.

Adjunct (part‑time) faculty in this position teach courses in didactic and practicum formats at all levels of Human Services, Social Work, and Gerontology training. Depending upon program needs and the candidate’s qualifications, teaching assignments will be primarily on LCC’s downtown Lansing campus with the possibility of other LCC campuses, practicum sites, and/or online assignments. An on‑campus presence and traditional in‑person teaching is required.

Adjunct faculty are expected to work collaboratively with senior department faculty, department coordinators, and the Program Director to develop course content consistent with official course syllabi and professional and industry standards. Duties include planning & preparation of course materials, delivery of instruction to students, assessment and grading, and assisting students outside of class. Additional responsibilities may include participation in course assessment, department/program meetings, advisory board meetings, professional development activities, and other duties as needed.

Faculty must demonstrate a commitment to the diversity of a multi‑cultural population, as well as work effectively in a team‑based environment, seeking continuous improvement and adherence to the community college philosophy.

• Adjunct instructors shall not exceed twelve (12) workload hours of teaching during Fall Semester and twelve (12) workload hours of teaching during Spring Semester, together with all associated preparation, assessment, and student consultation.
• Adjunct instructors shall not exceed ten (10) workload hours of teaching during Summer Semester, together with all associated preparation, assessment, and student consultation.
• Increases in workload will not change the part‑time status of bargaining unit members.

In addition to or in lieu of teaching assignments, part‑time teaching faculty may be given non‑teaching assignments such as course development or revision, curriculum development, student advising, leadership assignments, etc., provided their workload does not regularly exceed the nominal equivalent of thirty (30) clock hours per week or 1,560 clock hours in an academic year. Nothing contained in this section is intended to modify the minimum workload opportunities or obligations of part‑time teaching faculty as set forth in Article XIII.
