Job description

The University of Virginia's School of Continuing and Professional Studies (SCPS) seeks applicants to fill a tenure-ineligible part-time, limited term adjunct instructor position for the UVA SCPS Accounting Certificate. This 100% online program predominantly serves working adult learners seeking to satisfy education requirements to sit for the CPA Exam.

Specifically, the Accounting Certificate curriculum needs an update requiring new course development and teaching related to the Tax Compliance and Planning (TCP) Discipline Section of the Certified Public Accountant Exam. We seek to align the courses with learning objectives included in the Uniform CPA Examination Blueprints provided by AICPA.

Thus, we are hiring for both online teaching and instructional design experience. SCPS employs academic faculty who have applicable content expertise at the appropriate level and who provide evidence of recent and/or current professional experience which applies to students’ achieving the goals and learning outcomes of the program and courses.

Accounting courses run in the fall, spring, and summer academic semesters. Courses are typically 15 weeks in length and are offered in an online synchronous format. Class size averages range from 10-25 students. Live class meetings are in the evenings, and the weekday and time may be negotiated.

This position is for graduate-level instruction and online course design. Relevant experience is required. A Master's or terminal degree is required. A terminal degree in the teaching area or closely related field is preferred. Previous experience teaching and knowledge of instructional design and adult learning principles is highly preferred.

Online teaching experience and familiarity with the use of technology in teaching, experience working with adult learners, and strong written and oral communication skills are highly desirable. Applicants with an active CPA license are preferred, but not mandatory. At least two years of relevant extensive industry experience is preferred.
