Job Description:


Our Opportunity:

The Full-Time Faculty role will provide support to Purdue University Global's School of Business
and Information Technology. Building on Purdue University's mission to provide greater access
to affordable, high-quality education, Purdue University Global is a public, nonprofit institution
offering a world-class education online.


Job Summary:

Full-time faculty may have responsibilities in four areas: teaching, service, scholarship, and
professional development. The amount of time spent in each area is determined on an annual
basis, after discussion between the faculty member and their Department Chair, and may vary
from year to year. The workload is based on the needs of the Department and School,
consistent with the university's mission as a teaching institution. While the majority of faculty
typically spend the greatest percentage of their time teaching, there is the opportunity in a given
year for the percentage of time in any category to change.

Teaching responsibilities may include both undergraduate and graduate courses. The number
of courses assigned will consider credentials, program needs, course types, the number of
different preparations, and the number of students served.

Service will typically include participating in and/or taking leadership roles in Purdue Global
department or institution-wide governance committees. Service examples also include course
lead, training and mentoring other faculty, facilitating student-focused organizations or activities,
the evaluation of student portfolios, curriculum work, vacation relief for colleagues, and
leadership in professional organizations. In limited cases, specific service activities may be
assigned additional compensation.

Scholarship activities vary with the interests of the individual faculty member and may not be
required. Scholarship activities should be developed in consultation with the Dean, Associate
Dean or Academic Chair. Examples of PG scholarship activities include developing and
implementing solutions or new approaches to academic and professional challenges, as well as
publishing articles related to research within the discipline or profession and/or presenting at
academic or professional meetings.

Some professional development (8 hours) is required for all faculty over the course of a year.
Faculty development beyond these minimum expectations may be considered part of an annual
workload, if determined appropriate by the Academic Department Chair or requested by the
faculty member and approved by the Department Chair.

A balance of these four responsibilities is intended to sustain the academic goals of the
university to serve adult learners, and advance the professional goals of the faculty, while

creating a supportive learning environment that provides students with a clear path to
graduation.

Teaching is typically the primary assignment for a Purdue Global faculty member, with
service, scholarship and additional professional development activities comprising the
balance of the annual workload. If no assignments are made in service and scholarship,
a faculty member whose only assignment is teaching would not exceed 16-18 courses
taught in a year.


What to expect in this role:
Provides a student-centered learning environment which enables students to attain success.
Reports concerns regarding student academic progress to Success Coaches or
Academic Advisors, as appropriate. Refers students with questions regarding financial
aid, academics, attendance, and personal issues or concerns to the appropriate departments.
