Classification Summary

The full‑time faculty at Jefferson College generally have a work week of 35‑40 hours, of which 15 hours are scheduled for instruction and 10 hours for office hours. Given the diversity of faculty schedules (clinicals, laboratories, rehearsals, studios, etc.) which require additional contact hours, and the variety of institutional commitments beyond the 25 scheduled hours, it is clearly understood by all parties that faculty work activities exceed the scheduled hours, and that some of these additional hours are performed both on and off campus. In addition, all parties recognize that a flexible five‑day work week (5 of 7 days) expectation is reasonable. Modification to the five‑day work week for faculty with unusual regular day and night class schedules will require written approval of the President.

This is a 9-month Faculty position.

Minimum Qualifications

Bachelor’s degree with major in career field and two years’ full‑time college teaching experience and one year of related full‑time work experience, or Bachelor’s degree with major in career field and four years’ full‑time related work experience.

Preferred Qualifications

MSN preferred. Preference given to candidates with teaching experience and a breadth of clinical experience.

Licensing Requirements

Current undisciplined and unencumbered Missouri license.
