Job description

Adjunct Instructor: Core Curriculum - Kinesiology

The Core Curriculum and Kinesiology programs at St. Ambrose University (Davenport, Iowa), along with its affiliate, Mount Mercy University (Cedar Rapids, Iowa) seek qualified applicants to serve as adjunct instructors for Kinesiology courses in the Core Curriculum.

By applying, candidates will be considered for inclusion in an adjunct faculty pool. Positions are filled on a semester-by-semester basis, depending on programmatic needs.

Course Details and Format

Specific course assignments and formats, including online and face-to-face instruction, vary by semester based on teaching needs. Openings develop on a periodic basis.

We are seeking candidates with expertise and interest in teaching the following course:

• KIN 245. The Social Determinants of Health: Local Perspectives fulfills the Local Difference Core requirement. Guided by the question, "How is feeling good related to your neighborhood?", this course is designed around social determinants of health with examples and historical perspectives relevant to SAU campuses (Quad Cities and Cedar Rapids). Students examine multiple forms of "difference" related to social determinants of health, a contemporary and enduring concern. Specifically, the course engages in "local difference," focusing on income inequality, discrimination, neighborhood environments, social support, and the migrant experience, with contemporary and historical examples. Students learn to identify the value of diverse identities and perspectives and articulate the role of race, ethnicity, age, sex and gender as social determinants of health.

Successful candidates must hold a master's degree or have completed at least 18 graduate credit hours in the specific subject area or a closely related field. Preference may be given to applicants with prior teaching experience.

Due to state employment regulations, candidates must reside in one of the following authorized states to be considered for online adjunct teaching assignments: AK, AZ, AR, CO, FL, GA, IL, IN, IA, LA, MI, MN, MO, NE, NV, ND, SD, TX, VA, WV, or WI.
