Adjunct Faculty Pool - Mathematics & Statistics

Position Overview

The College of Natural Science and Mathematics (CNSM) is accepting qualified applicants for its pool of adjunct instructors in Mathematics & Statistics. Adjunct instructors are hired on a semester‑by‑semester appointment. Applicants with strong quantitative skills and experience teaching mathematics or statistics who possess a desire to help students succeed in reaching quantitative success will be considered.

Applicants will be placed into a hiring pool for the academic year from which instructors will be hired when or if there is a need during the year. Acceptance into the hiring pool does not constitute an offer of an appointment. Working one semester does not guarantee that a position will be available the following semester; hiring decisions are made on a semester‑by‑semester basis (including summer sessions) according to the needs of that semester’s schedule.

Both face‑to‑face courses and distance courses are offered. Face‑to‑face instructors must be available to teach in Fairbanks, Alaska. Distance course instructors are highly preferred to be local or regional. No relocation expenses will be paid for adjunct instruction.

Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States without restriction. Those requiring visa sponsorship are not eligible.

Applicants should have a Master's degree or Ph.D. in Mathematics or Statistics. A closely related master's degree may be considered if the applicant has completed a minimum of 18 graduate credits in Mathematics or Statistics.

Documented teaching experience is required. College‑level teaching experience is strongly preferred; experience teaching precalculus and calculus is preferred. Candidates for distance courses should ideally have experience teaching distance or face‑to‑face versions of the corresponding course.

• Cover Letter discussing applicable teaching experience, availability (in‑person, online, both), and interest in being an adjunct for UAF.
• CV/Resume.

This is a part‑time adjunct faculty position. Salary is variable based on the number of credits and degree held; CNSM amounts are greater than the minimum in the collective bargaining agreement.

This is a pooled opening; applications are reviewed as needed during the academic year. Submission of an application does not guarantee review or a job offer.

This is an at‑will, union‑represented adjunct position and may be canceled based upon the needs of the university.

The position is represented by United Academic – Adjuncts, AAUP-AFT/AFL‑CIO.
