Augsburg University offers more than 50 undergraduate majors and 11 graduate degrees to approximately 3,400 students of diverse backgrounds. The trademark of an Augsburg education is its emphasis on direct, personal experience. Guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran church, Augsburg educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.

Among the distinctive features of the university are its deep dedication to civic and community engagement, robust undergraduate research programs, and a strong belief in the integration of liberal arts and professional studies across all programs. The University's commitments to our urban context and the world beyond it are enhanced through the work of four signature centers: the Christensen Center for Vocation, the Center for Global Education and Experience, the Sabo Center for Democracy and Citizenship, and the Strommen Center for Meaningful Work.

Augsburg's Statement of Commitment to Equity

We believe that education is the key to healthy, meaningful and productive lives for individuals, as well as to the vibrancy of our democracy. Augsburg University is dedicated to achieving an educational experience free from the barriers of poverty, racism, and discrimination so that students can fully realize their unique gifts. Recognizing that higher education's democratic promise is compromised by systemic and systematic barriers to college access and completion, Augsburg is called to stand for equity in everything we do to fulfill our academic mission, serve our students and engage our fellow citizens.

The Department of Nursing at Augsburg University invites applications for adjunct faculty positions to teach classroom and clinical courses in our DNP - Family Nurse Practitioner program. These courses are taught both on campus and in the clinical setting.

The openings are for three different position focuses:

• Teaching didactic courses in a hybrid format, such as advanced pharmacology, integrative primary care, and advanced pathophysiology.
• Mentoring and advising students in their DNP scholarly projects.
• Teaching clinical courses, focusing on site visits and an opportunity to precept students in the clinical setting.

In addition to teaching online and face-to-face courses and evaluating student competency, instructors are expected to respond to student questions through email and support student success.

Each fall or spring course requires 10-12 hours per week for 15-16 weeks.

• $6,100 to $6,475 per undergraduate course
  * for the 2026-27 academic year
  $7,100 - $7,275 per graduate course
  * for the 2026-27 academic year
• Eligible for 2-4% retirement contribution match
• Tuition discount for employees and dependents
• Not eligible for healthcare benefits

This search will establish a “pool” of instructors for potential openings in Fall 2026 and Spring 2027. Applications will be accepted through November 30, 2026. Applicants will be reviewed when there is an opening.

* Course refers to a typical 4-credit undergraduate or 3-credit graduate course that has met minimum enrollment requirements. DNP reader appointments are not included in the collective bargaining agreement and are compensated at different rates.
