JOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY

Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) is seeking part-time adjunct faculty to teach evening classes for the Department of Integrative and Global Studies. These faculty positions are created to provide an available applicant pool for the program. Positions will be filled on an as-needed basis. Start dates will vary by course and semester.

WPI is a diverse campus of learners passionate about creating an inclusive workplace that promotes and values diversity. We are looking for candidates who can support our commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion.

JOB DESCRIPTION

The Department of Integrative and Global Studies (DIGS) at WPI has a continuing need for adjunct professors to teach a unique course in social methods. In this class, students work in teams to prepare a research proposal to guide work for external sponsors in the following term. Students must learn to function in teams to set goals, complete background research, understand appropriate research methods, think critically, and write and present effectively. Experience in social research and in teaching social research methods is highly desirable. A Ph.D. in a relevant social science discipline is also desirable, but not required.

The Global Experience Office (GEO) manages WPI’s Global Perspective Program through which most of WPI’s juniors complete interdisciplinary projects off campus each year. In this project, the Interactive Qualifying Project, student teams work with external sponsors on a problem addressing some aspect of science, technology, and human needs, broadly defined.

The WPI calendar is based on four 7-week terms, two in the fall and two in the spring. Our project preparation course is offered only in the evenings, Mondays & Thursdays, 6:30 – 8:30 p.m. for seven weeks each. Instructors must be available at other times for office hours and consultation with students.
