JOB TITLE

Adjunct Faculty-Off-Campus Advisor

LOCATION

Worcester

DEPARTMENT NAME

Integrative & Global Studies - JM

DIVISION NAME

Worcester Polytechnic Institute - WPI

JOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY

Worcester Polytechnic Institute's Global School is seeking adjunct faculty to advise project teams as part of WPI’s signature Global Projects Program. Successful candidates will receive a 2 month, destination specific appointment completed full-time onsite at a project center. Project center destinations include international and domestic locations around the world. This onsite position also requires part-time advising in the 2 months prior to departure (completed on-campus or remotely) as well as mandatory participation in advisor trainings.

These faculty positions are created to provide an available applicant pool for the program. Positions will be filled on an as needed basis. Start dates will vary by project center.

Qualified applicants will be contacted by the program. Your application will remain in the pool until the posting closes. If you wish to be considered for positions beyond that date, then you must reapply.

JOB DESCRIPTION

Advisors work with students completing the Interactive Qualifying Project (IQP) at WPI’s project center destinations around the world. The IQP is one of the most distinctive elements of the WPI Plan and WPI’s signature project-based curriculum. Unlike an academic course, this nine-credit-hour requirement involves students working in teams, with students not in their major, to tackle an issue that relates science, engineering, and technology to society.

Advisors guide students through their project experience while also providing student support onsite. Advisors are asked to lead onsite orientations, respond to emergencies, and assist project teams to resolve issues of group dynamics, sponsor relationships, or other issues that arise. These highly demanding positions require a significant amount of flexibility, self-initiative, and the ability to excel under challenging conditions while efficiently accomplishing tasks in a fast-paced environment.

An ideal applicant will hold an advanced degree in a related discipline with relevant practical, in addition to successful undergraduate or graduate teaching experience. Experience living or working abroad is also highly desired.

Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, cover letter, and names and contact information for three references. The cover letter should feature the candidate's relevant teaching experience, area(s) of scholarly interest, and commitments to enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in higher education.

FLSA STATUS
