The Department of Chemistry and Physics in the College of Arts and Sciences at North Central College invites applications for adjunct (per-course) faculty members for laboratory and lecture sections of General and Organic Chemistry. Adjunct instructors are required to deliver course content consistent with learning outcomes, contribute to the creation of assignments and other assessments, evaluate and grade student work, and be available for office hours to support student success.

These appointments are on a course-by-course basis. This posting is continuous to develop a qualified pool of interested candidates. If your academic area of interest/expertise meets our programmatic needs at any time, you may be contacted to discuss teaching opportunities. These needs change from semester to semester.

Faculty Associate (adjunct) positions are hired on one semester, renewable contracts with loads that do not exceed 8 credit hours; one course per semester is the norm. The position is a non-benefits eligible, fixed-term appointment with no tenure eligibility. The number of courses is contingent upon unit needs, funding, and sufficient enrollment.

Required Qualifications
A Ph.D. in chemistry or an associated field is preferred; candidates possessing a master's degree and college-level teaching experience may also be considered. Teaching excellence is paramount.

Desired Qualifications

Prior higher education teaching experience preferred

Experience with technology/course management systems (e.g. Canvas)


The review of applications will occur as the College has needs for a particular course. Applications will continue to be accepted and reviewed on an ongoing basis. This pool recruitment will be live throughout the academic year, and the College may or may not hire from it, depending on course needs. A background check and official transcripts are required prior to employment.
