Job Description:
RWU Extension School at Roger Williams University invites applications for a part-time position teaching an undergraduate course online in General Education.

When new Adjunct or Part-Time Faculty members are hired, resumes and transcripts are kept on file with the Dean of RWU Extension School. Since the quality of RWU Extension School instruction should be consistent with the quality in the Day School, deans of the respective schools/colleges have the right to review, recommend, and approve faculty assignments in the RWU Extension School, when adjunct faculty will be teaching courses in areas and subjects represented by such schools/colleges. Adjunct faculty are expected to adhere to the guidelines and provisions contained in the Adjunct Faculty Guide published annually by the RWU Extension School.

Requirements:
A minimum of a Master's degree is required. At the University's discretion, the education and experience prerequisites may be excepted where the candidate can demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the University, an equivalent combination of education and experience specifically preparing the candidate for success in the position.

Application Instructions:
Please attach a resume, cover letter, and list of three (3) professional references. In your cover letter/letter of interest, in addition to listing how your qualifications meet the requirements of the position, please include information about how you would be able to contribute to RWU's diversity, inclusivity, and equity goals.
