Job Description

This is a part-time, adjunct faculty position in the school of Professional and Continuing Education (PaCE) at The Evergreen State College starting winter quarter, 2025.

The Evergreen State College seeks a faculty member with advanced training and experience in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) leadership for organizational management and institutional change. A successful candidate should have a background in administrative policy and practice with a DEI focus (such as a DEI Officer) and be interested in teaching students that are preparing for a variety of careers in the private and public sector. We seek colleagues interested in creative, student-centered curriculum planning who have the potential to collaborate with other faculty and statewide partners in developing DEI-related curriculum.

The successful candidate for this position will develop and teach an 8-credit class called "Developing, Implementing and Assessing Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategies," which is part of a Diversity Equity and Inclusion Certificate program. Course content may incorporate material from psychology, organizational leadership, and/or communication subfields including industrial/organizational psychology, social psychology, organizational management, human systems, intergroup and intercultural relations, and human development.

We strongly encourage applications from candidates who have had experience teaching and/or working with adult students and students from underserved populations. We also encourage applicants with online/hybrid teaching experience.

This a remote position that does not require teaching on our physical campus in Olympia, Washington. However a condition of employment is that you have residency in one of the following states: California, Florida, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Texas, Virginia, Washington DC, or Washington State and teach remotely from that state.

Evergreen's school of Professional and Continuing Education provides transformative education for part time students, working adults, and lifelong learners. Drawing on Evergreen's tradition of innovative curricular design and collaborative learning communities, it offers bachelor's degree curriculum and stackable certificates that combine theory with practice to help students achieve academic goals, advance their careers, and create a better world.

The College reserves the right to extend searches or not offer positions advertised. As a condition of employment, persons hired must provide proof of identity and employment eligibility, including authorization to work in the United States, within three (3) days of beginning work. All position offers are contingent on funding. Persons with disabilities can receive accommodation in the hiring process by contacting the Faculty Hiring Coordinator. The Evergreen State College is an equal opportunity employer.

Job Expectations

Most faculty will teach in full-time, team-taught, 16-credit programs connected by a particular theme or line of inquiry. Faculty are generally responsible for evaluating 25 students/quarter, though their programs may include up to 50-75 students, depending on the size of their teaching team. This arrangement allows for in-depth, interdisciplinary and experiential learning, and the building of strong learning communities. Faculty are also responsible for advising students as they reflect on their learning process, develop a pathway of study, and formulate their own areas of concentration.

Our teaching is student-centered, which means we are interested in helping students develop strong skills in critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaborative work. Because over 80% of our students come from underserved and marginalized groups, we are particularly invested in approaches to teaching that emphasize diversity and equity, that provide opportunities for challenge and growth, and that foster a learning environment where all are welcome and all can learn from each other.

A complete list of faculty responsibilities can be found in the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
