Adjunct, Psychology

The Saint Joseph's Psychology Department is home to a highly productive group of scholars and teachers, and the Psychology major is one of the most popular on campus. We are looking for the support of highly qualified, capable, and experienced adjunct instructors who can staff one or two courses each semester on an 'as needed' basis. These courses may be offered weekdays, evenings, and/or on-line.

Adjunct/affiliate faculty are expected to teach the course(s) they have been assigned, prepare course materials, and provide support and guidance to students. Part-time adjunct faculty may instruct one or two courses each semester. Courses available for adjunct staffing are offered during the day and the evening, as well as on-line. Saint Joseph's University (SJU) offers a wide variety of bachelor's, master's, doctoral, associate and certificate programs.

With a commitment to personalized attention through a low faculty to student ratio, SJU may call on the expertise of adjunct instructors to complement the work of full-time faculty across all of its colleges and schools. SJU appoints part-time, non-tenure track adjunct instructors on a semester-to-semester basis with no guarantee of consecutive appointments. Re-appointment is based on university need, student enrollment, and satisfactory performance.

Applicants for these positions are screened on an as-needed basis throughout the academic year. Teaching responsibilities are assigned by the department chair. Compensation for adjunct instructors is commensurate with educational credentials, professional, experience and instructional background. Adjunct instructors are bound to the terms and conditions of employment at Saint Joseph's University, including but not limited to the Faculty Handbook. More information about SJU's academic programs is available online.
