Job Description
Our Opportunity:
Building on Purdue University's mission to provide greater access to affordable, high-quality education, Purdue University Global is a public, nonprofit institution offering a world-class education online. Purdue Global delivers personalized online education tailored to the unique needs of adults who have work or life experience beyond the classroom, enabling them to develop essential academic and professional skills with the support and flexibility they need to achieve their career goals. This Full-Time Faculty role will support Purdue University Global's School of Nursing in the DNP program.Job Summary:
Full-time faculty may have responsibilities in four areas: teaching, service, scholarship, and professional development. The amount of time spent in each area is determined on an annual basis, after discussion between the faculty member and their Chair, and may vary from year to year. The workload is based on the needs of the Department and School, consistent with the university's mission as a teaching institution. While the majority of faculty typically spend the greatest percentage of their time teaching, there is the opportunity in a given year for the percentage of time in any category to change. Teaching responsibilities may include didactic and project courses within the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program. The number of courses assigned will consider credentials, program needs, course types, the number of different preparations, and the number of students served. Service will typically include participating in and/or taking leadership roles in Purdue Global department or institution-wide governance committees. Service examples also include course lead, training and mentoring other faculty, facilitating student-focused organizations or activities, the evaluation of student portfolios, curriculum work, vacation relief for colleagues, and leadership in professional organizations. In limited cases, additional teaching responsibilities may be assigned with additional compensation. Scholarship activities vary with the interests of the individual faculty member. Scholarship activities should be developed in consultation with the Dean, Associate Dean or Chair. Examples of PG scholarship activities include developing and implementing solutions or new approaches to academic and professional challenges, as well as publishing articles related to research within the discipline or profession and/or presenting at academic or professional meetings. A minimum of 8 hours of professional development is required for all faculty within each academic year. Additionally, Purdue Global University compliance training is required annually. A balance of these four responsibilities is intended to sustain the academic goals of the university to serve adult learners, and advance the professional goals of the faculty, while creating a supportive learning environment that provides students with a clear path to graduation. Teaching is typically the primary assignment for a Purdue Global faculty member, with service, scholarship, and additional professional development activities comprising the balance of the annual workload. If no assignments are made in service and scholarship, a faculty member whose only assignment is teaching would not exceed 16-18 courses taught in a year. What we're looking for:- Exceptional computer skills using Microsoft Office Suite, Google applications, and virtual meeting platforms. Experience with Brightspace software is preferred.
- Excellent communication, organizational, and time management skills.
- Ability to work effectively and independently in a remote environment with minimal supervision.
- Capable of building strong working relationships across teams, departments and Schools.
- Experience developing online courses and an understanding of online andragogy is a plus.
