The School of Respiratory Care within the College of Health Sciences at Boise State University invites applications for an online, 11-month Clinical Assistant or Clinical Associate Professor position primarily in the Master’s of Science in Respiratory Care (MSRC) CoARC-accredited Degree Advancement Program.

A full-time Clinical Faculty member in the School of Respiratory Care’s MSRC Program has the primary responsibility of teaching online students. As the course delivery is online, the faculty member may function remotely. Active engagement in School, College, and University service can be accomplished by web conferences, Google Docs, and periodic visits to the campus in Boise, ID. They will be the lead faculty and content expert for selected courses and will be responsible for performing quality improvement tasks every semester to ensure the highest quality online courses are being delivered.

As lead faculty, they will be expected to be highly responsive to students of the program as a faculty advisor and promote the high quality of customer service that our School adheres to. Faculty achieve this by having online office hours and utilizing multiple modes of communication, including email, phone, and video conferencing.

For this 11-month Clinical Assistant or Clinical Associate Professor position, the workload is typically 20% service and 80% teaching. Duties and responsibilities are primarily teaching students in the online MSRC Degree Advancement Program but also include advising students, meetings, committee service, and participating in appropriate professional development activities.

While they may, clinical faculty are not required to participate in research or scholarly activities as part of their regular assignment. The essential duties and responsibilities of clinical faculty are assigned by the Program Director in coordination with and final approval by the Divisional Dean.

This position is on an annual, 11-month contract with a salary range of $80,000-90,000. This position is eligible for a remote work arrangement, subject to applicable university policies and requirements.
