Job Summary
This is a full-time, regular* faculty position in the school of Professional and Continuing Education at The Evergreen State College starting in 2023-24 academic year.

The Evergreen State College seeks a faculty member with broad training and experience in business and marketing who is interested in teaching business and marketing programs and courses in the college’s new school of Professional and Continuing Education. The successful candidate also will help refine the school of Professional and Continuing Education business curriculum as it expands over the next several academic years. We seek highly collaborative colleagues who are interested in creative, student-centered curriculum planning.

The successful candidate for this position will teach business at the undergraduate level and incorporate material from business subfields including management, organizational behavior, business ethics, marketing, finance and sustainability, among others. The successful candidate will also teach in one or more of the following areas: Marketing principles and management, Marketing data/analytics, Marketing strategy, Marketing research, Consumer marketing, Services marketing, or Digital marketing.

We strongly encourage applications from candidates who have had experience teaching and/or working with adult students and students from underserved populations.

Drawing on Evergreen’s tradition of innovative curricular design and collaborative learning communities, it offers bachelor’s degree curriculum and certificates that combine theory with practice to help students achieve academic goals, advance their careers, and create a better world.

The College reserves the right to extend searches or not offer positions advertised. As a condition of employment, persons hired must provide proof of identity and employment eligibility, including authorization to work in the United States, within three (3) days of beginning work. All position offers are contingent on funding. Persons with disabilities can receive accommodations in the hiring process by contacting the Faculty Hiring Coordinator.

  • Regular is equivalent to tenure-track at other colleges. A complete description of the continuing contract and conversion process can be found in the Collective Bargaining Agreement https://www.evergreen.edu/provost/faculty-collective-bargaining-agreement.

Job Expectations
Curriculum in the school for Professional and Continuing Education is based on stackable certificates and related bachelor’s degree curriculum comprised of 4-credit and 8-credit offerings, normally planned at a 25:1 student to faculty ratio, and capstone work including undergraduate research or internships and individual study. Faculty appointed to the school for Professional and Continuing Education will teach a mixture of those types of offerings, with a planned full-time workload of 400 student credit hours per quarter. Most courses and programs will be offered online or in a low residency, hybrid, or high-flex format with both remote and in-person elements. Most synchronous instruction would be taught in the evenings or weekends, with some flexibility to offer instruction in the day if there is demonstrated demand or if teaching during daylight hours is an important part of the pedagogy (such as for field work). In the first year of the contract faculty will have the opportunity for partial release from teaching to help with the design and development of new certificates and curriculum in the school for Professional and Continuing education. Faculty will be provided with opportunities to increase their skill in online curriculum development.

Evergreen uses narrative evaluations in lieu of grades and faculty are generally responsible for evaluating 25 students/quarter in each class. Faculty are also responsible for advising students as they reflect on their learning process, develop a pathway of study, and formulate their own areas of concentration.

Our teaching is student-centered, which means we are interested in helping students develop strong skills in critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaborative work. Because over 80% of our students come from underserved and marginalized groups, we are particularly invested in approaches to teaching that emphasize diversity and equity, that provide opportunities for challenge and growth, and that foster a learning environment where all are welcome and all can learn from each other.
