Job Description
Our Opportunity
The Full-Time Faculty role will provide support to Purdue University Globals School of Nursing. Building on Purdue Universitys mission to provide greater access to affordable high-quality education, Purdue University Global is a public nonprofit institution offering a world-class education online.
Successful candidates in this role will reside in the Perry IA area or within a commutable distance. The clinical site is located at Dallas County Hospital, 610 10th Street, Perry IA 50220.
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 Program Head and may vary from year to year. The workload is based on the needs of the Department and School consistent with the universitys 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
Teaching responsibilities may include both undergraduate and graduate courses. The number of courses assigned will consider credentials, program needs, course types, the number of different preparations, and the number of students served.
Service Responsibilities
Service typically includes 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 • Evaluating student portfolios • Curriculum work • Vacation relief for colleagues • Leadership in professional organizations
In limited cases, specific service activities may be assigned additional compensation.
Scholarship Activities
Scholarship activities vary with the interests of the individual faculty member and may not be required. Scholarship activities should be developed in consultation with the Dean, Associate Dean, or Program Head. Examples of PG scholarship activities include:
• Developing and implementing solutions or new approaches to academic and professional challenges • Publishing articles related to research within the discipline or profession and/or presenting at academic or professional meetings
Professional Development
Some professional development is required for all faculty over the course of a year. Faculty development beyond these minimum expectations may be considered part of an annual workload if determined appropriate by the Academic Program Head or requested by the faculty member and approved by the Program Head.
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.
