Adjunct Faculty: Nursing Instructor 2026-27

The Department of Nursing at Augsburg University invites applications for adjunct faculty positions to teach courses in the various nursing programs, which include the BSN completion (RN-BSN), MA in Nursing, and Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP-FNP and post-Masters DNP). In addition, the nursing department may have opportunities to be a clinical instructor for the DNP-FNP track.

 

Priority will be given to a candidate demonstrating interest and strength in teaching with an emphasis on transcultural nursing, public health nursing, leadership, holistic health, equity and inclusivity and social justice issues in the discipline. 

This search will establish a “pool” of instructors if such openings occur during Fall of 2026 or Spring 2027.  Applications will be accepted through November 30, 2026.

Available courses vary by term. Most classes are held during the day, 1 day per week. In addition to teaching the class and grading student work, instructors are expected to respond to student questions through email, hold regularly scheduled office hours, reach out to students with course progress information, and communicate regularly with the course coordinator. A course syllabus with calendar, textbook and homework selection, sample activities and exams, and shared office space are typically provided. Most classes are taught in-person on our Minneapolis campus. Each course requires approximately 12-15 hours/week for 15-16 weeks. 

The successful candidate will possess both a high level of intercultural competency and a commitment to inclusive practice and authentic representation.
