Adjunct Faculty: Economics 2025

The Department of Business & Economics at Augsburg University invites applications for adjunct faculty positions to teach Economics courses in 2025. This search will establish a “pool” of instructors if such openings occur during Spring, Summer, or Fall of 2025. Applicants may be selected from this pool on an as-needed basis throughout the year. Available courses vary by term. Our most frequent needs are for instructors for Principles of Macroeconomics (ECO 112) and Principles of Microeconomics (ECO 113).  Most classes are held during the day, 2-3 days 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.Compensation & BenefitsSubject to the collective bargaining agreement with SEIU, Local 284$5,500 to $6,550 per courseEligible for 1-1.5% retirement contribution matchTuition discount for employees and dependentsTransit pass discountNot eligible for healthcare benefits
