Adjunct Faculty - Math

Adjunct Faculty - Math 2026

The Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science at Augsburg University invites applications for adjunct faculty positions to teach introductory courses in mathematics. Responsibilities include teaching one or two sections of introductory courses in mathematics, such as Finite Mathematics (for Business students), Mathematics in Society, Mathematics for Elementary Teachers, Discrete Mathematics, Precalculus, and Developmental Mathematics. This search will establish a "pool" of instructors if such openings occur during Spring, Summer, or Fall of 2026.

Applicants may be selected from this pool on an as-needed basis throughout the year.

Available courses vary by term. Most classes are held during the day, 2-3 days per week. In addition to teaching the class and grading student work, instructors are expected to respond to student questions through email, hold regularly scheduled office hours, reach out to students with course progress information, and communicate regularly with the course coordinator. A course syllabus with calendar, textbook and homework selection, sample activities and exams, and shared office space are typically provided.

Most classes are taught in-person on our Minneapolis campus. Each fall or spring semester course requires approximately 12-15 hours/week for 15-16 weeks.
