Job description

Political Science - Adjunct Faculty - Continuous Applicant Pool

Please see Special Instructions for more details.

The Adjunct Instructor Pools are for applicants who are interested in teaching in the future as an (part-time) adjunct instructor for one of our departments. The Instructor Pools are always open for applications. However, this does not mean that we have an immediate opening in the division. The Adjunct Instructor Pools function as a way for department chairs to view applicant materials in advance of a need and determine if the applicant will be approved or not approved to be added to their pool of eligible applicants. Should a part-time instructional need arise in each department, the department chair will look first at the approved applicants to see if anyone matches our needs, in which case they may make contact to schedule an interview.

Adjunct faculty are not employed directly by Lake Michigan College, with a few exceptions based on MSPERS retirement program. All others are employed through Edustaff, LLC. If you are selected for one of these roles, you will be required to complete Edustaff’s employment application and on-boarding processes.
Please note: official transcripts for all degrees will be required immediately upon hire.
Monday through Thursday summer work hours apply to this position.

Please note: This course is held on site at the Benton Harbor, Michigan campus. Official transcripts for all degrees will be required immediately upon hire.
