The candidate may also teach one or more courses in Greenville College’s traditional program. Course assignments will depend on the successful candidate’s education and experience but could include Liberal Arts and Christian Thought, Major Issues in Philosophy, Sociology of Wealth and Poverty, and a senior capstone seminar. The candidate selected for this position will advise off-campus students enrolled in the inverse degree program, serve on college committees and assist in recruitment of students. Additionally, the candidate will assist in recruiting, training and administrating adjunct instructors in the program. This is a 12-month position.
Compensation: Salary is based on academic background and experience. The College also provides a generous benefits package that includes health, retirement, life insurance, and disability plans, as well as tuition waiver for dependents at Greenville and a tuition exchange program with 80+ other Christian colleges.
