Description

Joining our team of over 100 faculty will offer you fellowship with staff and faculty from diverse units on campus. The pedagogical training we provide will also expand your repertoire of methods for engaging students in lasting learning. You may view Fall 2026 members of our teaching team here .

Faculty of the Moreau First-Year Seminar teach one section of MOR 10101. This one-credit seminar meets for 75 minutes once a week for the first eleven weeks of the fall semester.

The syllabus and commonplace book are common across all sections and provide students an occasion to study and practice living well. Faculty utilize the pre-designed course syllabus and framework to help students engage the course questions. The course is not, however, scripted, and faculty are free to execute the planned sessions and readings with great flexibility.

Inspired by Notre Dame’s Catholic mission and a sacramental vision in which God is not only present in but working through persons and creation, the course embraces a pedagogy of encounter in which such questions are best pursued in community with others. Sections of FYS 10101 are capped at ~20 students to better enable faculty to foster a sense of community both inside and outside of the classroom.

Each faculty member is paired with a Moreau Peer Leader , a reliable, informed, and relatable upper-class undergraduate student who serves as instructional support and as a catalyst in building a sense of genuine community.

Active leadership as the instructor of record for MOR 10101

Active participation and collaboration in ~6 training/development sessions across Spring and Summer 2027 for first-time Moreau faculty and ~3 training/development sessions across Spring and Summer 2027 for returning Moreau faculty

• Thoughtful and tactful planning and facilitation of weekly class sessions (one 75-minute class per week for 11 weeks of the fall semester).

Weekly collaboration and preparation with the Moreau Peer Leader

Ongoing collaboration and development with fellow Moreau faculty instructors for the first eleven weeks of the fall term (this includes optional professional development and community-building events).

Regular interactions with students outside of the classroom

Timely assessment of student work and submission of student grades

Compensation

Faculty of the Moreau First-Year Seminar receive a $4,000 stipend to teach the one-credit First-Year Seminar. Each section meets for 75 min. once a week for eleven weeks of the fall semester.

First-time instructors of the course also receive a $250 stipend in recognition of completing the training sessions in Spring 2027 and in August 2027 before the course begins.

Qualifications

Ideal candidates demonstrate a zeal for holistic student development and have experience nurturing students’ personal and intellectual growth. Candidates must be able to inspire and facilitate small group discussions of texts from a variety of eras and fields and foster rich interactions between and among students both in the classroom and beyond.

Candidates must be current Notre Dame faculty, exempt staff members with a graduate degree, or members of the Congregation of Holy Cross.
