Temporary Faculty (Watson College of Education) | Academic Year 2026-2027

This pooled posting identifies potential instructional support on an as‑needed, rolling basis. Applications are reviewed when program needs arise rather than on a fixed schedule. Most temporary teaching assignments result from specific program needs and are typically filled by individuals with prior collaboration with the Watson College of Education (such as school partners, practitioners, program graduates, or previous instructors). Submitting an application does not guarantee selection or immediate review.

Prior to appointment, selected candidates must demonstrate eligibility to teach assigned courses by meeting credentialing requirements through official transcripts and any required documentation.

This is a temporary position. Assignment length depends on departmental need and may be extended. Temporary employees are not considered permanent state employees, do not earn leave, and are subject to Affordable Care Act guidelines.
