Part-time Faculty Pool Dental Instructor

Monterey Peninsula College is currently accepting applications to establish a pool for future part‑time teaching assignments in this discipline.

Monterey Peninsula Community College District is committed to educational equity for all students, as outlined in the District’s Governing Board Goals, Educational Master Plan, and Equal Employment Opportunity Plan. We provide students with a rich and dynamic learning experience that embraces differences—emphasizing collaboration, engaging students in and out of the classroom, and encouraging them to realize their goals and become global citizens and socially responsible leaders.

We value the ability to serve students from a broad range of cultural heritages, socioeconomic backgrounds, genders, abilities, orientations, and intersections of these identities. Monterey Peninsula College has a diverse student population that reflects the communities it serves.

We prioritize applicants who demonstrate understanding and appreciation for the benefits of diversity. An equity‑minded individual is one who already does or has demonstrated the desire to: hold ourselves accountable as educators for closing equity gaps; reframe inequities as a problem of practice; implement positive race‑consciousness; reflect on institutional and teaching practices to make them culturally responsive; and collaborate with colleagues on equity‑related initiatives.

Under the supervision of the area dean and guidance of the department, the part‑time instructor will provide instruction in accordance with course descriptions, outlines, class schedules, and governing board policy; evaluate student progress and perform other instructional duties as assigned. The instructor may be assigned to the Monterey campus and/or Marina Education Center.
