Adjunct Faculty - Math

Augsburg University offers more than 50 undergraduate majors and 11 graduate degrees to approximately 3,400 students of diverse backgrounds. The trademark of an Augsburg education is its emphasis on direct, personal experience. Guided by the faith and values of the Lutheran church, Augsburg educates students to be informed citizens, thoughtful stewards, critical thinkers, and responsible leaders.

Among the distinctive features of the university are its deep dedication to civic and community engagement, robust undergraduate research programs, and a strong belief in the integration of liberal arts and professional studies across all programs. The University's commitments to our urban context and the world beyond it are enhanced through the work of four signature centers: the Christensen Center for Vocation, the Center for Global Education and Experience, the Sabo Center for Democracy and Citizenship, and the Strommen Center for Meaningful Work.

We believe that education is the key to healthy, meaningful and productive lives for individuals, as well as to the vibrancy of our democracy. Augsburg University is dedicated to achieving an educational experience free from the barriers of poverty, racism, and discrimination so that students can fully realize their unique gifts. Recognizing that higher education's democratic promise is compromised by systemic and systematic barriers to college access and completion, Augsburg is called to stand for equity in everything we do to fulfill our academic mission, serve our students and engage our fellow citizens.

The Department of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science at Augsburg University invites applications for adjunct faculty positions to teach introductory courses in mathematics.

Responsibilities include teaching one or two sections of introductory courses in mathematics, such as:

• Finite Mathematics (for Business students)
• Mathematics in Society
• Mathematics for Elementary Teachers
• Discrete Mathematics
• Precalculus
• Developmental Mathematics

This search will establish a “pool” of instructors if such openings occur during Spring, Summer, or Fall of 2026. Applicants may be selected from this pool on an as‑needed basis throughout the year.

Available courses vary by term. Most classes are held during the day, 2–3 days per week. In addition to teaching the class and grading student work, instructors are expected to respond to student questions through email, hold scheduled office hours, communicate course progress information, and maintain regular communication with the course coordinator. A course syllabus with calendar, textbook, homework selection, sample activities, and exams is typically provided.

Most classes are taught in‑person on the Minneapolis campus, requiring approximately 12–15 hours per week for 15–16 weeks per semester.
