Adjunct Opportunities at Fordham University, Spring 2021

The Department of Communication and Media Studies at Fordham University is currently seeking experienced instructors to teach a range of undergraduate courses in the Spring semester 2021.

Teaching normally takes place at the university’s Rose Hill campus in The Bronx or Lincoln Center campus in Manhattan. However, the COVID-19 pandemic means that in Spring ’21, instructors will be permitted to choose their teaching modality following a Flexible Hybrid Learning model, meaning that an instructor may choose not to teach in-person. More information on modality choice will be offered to candidates who are invited for interview but it is anticipated that all classes will have a regular synchronous component (such as a Zoom-based tutorial or a conventional teaching session), which should take place during the allocated class times. The Spring ’21 semester begins on February 1st 2021.

In most cases a pre-existing syllabus will be made available to instructors, although it is expected that instructors will update and modify courses to fit with the current learning environment as well as recent developments in the relevant field.

 

Applications are invited from experienced instructors who have a graduate qualification in the relevant field (Masters or equivalent). While a PhD is not mandatory, we look favorably on applications from those who hold a doctorate, or are later stage doctoral candidates. We ideally prefer candidates who have experience of teaching courses similar to those listed above. Selected candidates will be invited for a short interview during November 2020, at which time they will be asked to discuss their previous teaching experience, provide evidence of prior course design and explain how they would teach one or more of the above-listed course(s).
