Adjunct Professor of Management and Organization

Overview

The Management and Organization (MOR) Department the USC-Marshall School of Business seeks to hire part-time faculty members for academic year .

USC defines two categories of appointment for faculty working less than fulltime. These are "adjunct" and "part-time." The difference in the categories is primarily based on the nature of a faculty member's professional work outside of teaching at USC.

• Definition of Adjunct Faculty
  USC reserves the "Adjunct Faculty" appointment for faculty teaching less than full-time at USC, who are employed full-time in a primary profession or career elsewhere. Adjunct faculty typically teach only one course per year but, in exceptional cases, may teach one course per semester, if approved by the dean. Examples include a full-time freelance artist, a lawyer employed full-time at a firm, a pharmacist employed full-time by a pharmacy, or a consultant/entrepreneur/CFO who teaches 1-2 classes a year for USC.
• Definition of Part-time Faculty
  USC reserves the "Part-time Faculty" appointment for faculty teaching less than full-time who are not employed full-time in a primary position or career elsewhere. Examples include a therapist with a part-time private practice, a musician with part-time performances, a biologist with a part-time job in a lab, or someone retired from a career who teaches less than full-time t-time Faculty under this definition may teach a maximum of 3 courses per semester, with an aim to reduce to 2 courses per semester as full-time faculty numbers increase.

The MOR department is interdisciplinary; our 21 tenured/tenure-track faculty members have backgrounds in organizational behavior, psychology, sociology, economics and general management.
