The Mark and Robyn Jones College of Nursing ( MRJCON ) offers a baccalaureate in nursing, accelerated baccalaureate in nursing, Master of Nursing focused on clinical leadership, and Doctor of Nursing Practice with focus as a family nurse practitioner, psych-mental health nurse practitioner, or nurse-midwife. The College has five campus locations across the state, located in Billings, Bozeman, Great Falls, Kalispell, and Missoula.

The Mark and Robyn Jones College of Nursing is seeking to hire 3-7 assistant professors as a cohort to start January 1, 2027. Faculty representing a variety of backgrounds to assume tenure track positions in various specialty areas are sought. Faculty members have opportunities to teach in both the graduate and undergraduate programs. Tenure track faculty members are expected to establish a focused program of research relevant to Montana and to successfully seek extramural funding.

All members of the faculty are expected to engage in college and university service and to provide nursing leadership in Montana and beyond through active participation in professional nursing organizations. We hope to attract applicants who are committed to helping students from different backgrounds succeed.
