Job description

MiraCosta College is accepting applications to build a pool of instructors for possible future part‑time assignments teaching NURS 160 - Certified Nursing Assistant (lecture and/or clinical). The department chairperson or designee will review applications only if vacancies become available.

NURS 160 - Certified Nursing Assistant:

This course covers basic nursing skills, including fundamentals of nursing, nutrition, gerontology, and home nursing. Upon successful completion of the course, students may seek employment in long‑term and skilled nursing facilities, acute care, and in‑home care.

Instructors may be assigned to any campus or authorized facility. Assignments may include days, evenings, or weekends.

Applications are valid through June 30, 2027, at which time they will expire. A new posting for this pool will be posted on July 1, 2027, and those still interested will need to reapply at that time.

RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT:

MiraCosta College Board Policy 7800: Employee Residency requires all associate faculty employees to maintain and permanently reside in a principal place of residence in the state of California that is within two‑hundred (200) road miles from the employee’s regularly assigned district worksite. The purpose of the policy is to promote efficiency and continuity throughout all campus administrative functions, provide students with high quality assistance and accessibility to all academic and campus services, ensure that students receive an engaging education, and respond to emerging student needs.

Associate faculty who have a fully online assignment with the District must reside within the state of California, but may live beyond two‑hundred (200) road miles from their designated District worksite without requiring the exception detailed below.

The District may consider an individual request to temporarily reside outside of the State of California or outside the 200‑mile limit on a case‑by‑case basis, not to exceed twelve consecutive months.

Under direction, plan, organize and teach assigned courses in an instructional field or discipline in accordance with approved course outlines, education code requirements and faculty contract provisions; provide feedback and guidance to students and evaluate student performance; and perform related duties as assigned.

$93.42 to $113.65 per hour. Initial class placement is based on education. All new associate faculty start at step 1.

Pay Calculation:

For Fall or Spring Semesters: Hourly Pay Rate × # of LHE* assigned × 18.5 hours per LHE = Total Pay for the Semester

For Summer Sessions: Hourly Pay Rate × # of LHE* assigned × 16.5 hours per LHE = Total Pay for the Session

*LHE - Lecture Hour Equivalent (an LHE value is assigned to each course).
