About Us

Since 1906, the University of West Georgia (UWG) has been home to those who seek a transformative college experience. UWG is a leading residential, doctoral comprehensive university that offers a broad undergraduate and graduate curriculum based on a liberal arts foundation. Nestled among the pines on a picturesque 645 acres is the University of West Georgia—a hidden gem approximately 40 miles west of Atlanta.

Serving approximately 14,400+ students and offering more than 100 programs, UWG is committed to advancing innovative academic programs and a student-centered business model. UWG has been recognized by various publications for its academic quality and impact. UWG seeks employees who will advance and support the University's mission of fulfilling the talent needs of western Georgia and the Atlanta metropolitan area, while contributing to the social, cultural, and economic development of the region and state.

Living in Carrollton, "The City of Dreams," offers the advantages of city life with a small-town vibe. This progressive community with Southern flair offers plenty of shopping, restaurants, nightlife opportunities, and cultural events. Carrollton is the cultural, educational, health care, and commercial center for the west Georgia region. The city embraces the University's students, faculty, and staff, and welcomes the diversity UWG brings to the community.

Invested in education with highly rated city and county K-12 systems, both city and county public school graduation rates are high and rank among the top in the nation by U.S. News & World Report.

The University of West Georgia has realized significant undergraduate and graduate growth in enrollment and expanded academic programs in recent years. To meet increased student demand for courses, UWG is expanding course offerings and faculty and staff positions, and we expect to continue to grow into the future for many years to come.

As an expert in your field, we welcome you to join us in service to students and the UWG community. We invite you to learn more about UWG and see how you can contribute and join the UWG team. Academic Affairs is continuously seeking faculty with strong teaching and student support skills, and we regularly hire part-time and limited-term faculty (in addition to new tenure-track faculty).

These part-time and limited-term positions can lead into more long-term positions, including instructors, lecturers, and tenure-track faculty positions, as part of the UWG faculty recruitment process. Teaching part time and as a limited-term faculty member gives you a chance to experience the UWG community and expand your career opportunities.

Limited-term faculty involve teaching courses (typically four or five courses per semester, negotiable with the dean), some service, and some professional development. You will be supported by friendly colleagues in your discipline with course materials, mentorship, and other resources. As a full-time faculty member, you will have complete access to all institutional resources to aid your success.
