ASU’s Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College (MLFTC) and the Division of Education Leadership & Innovation invites applications to establish a pool for Faculty Associates in the Environmental Education Program for the 2024-2025 academic year. Successful candidates will teach online courses (e.g., COE 501: Intro to Research and Evaluation in Education, EDU 593: Applied Project), prepare course materials, evaluate student work, and assist students. The Masters in Education program welcomes applications from candidates who align with ASU’s charter and are committed to inclusive excellence and student success. The successful candidate will also advance ASU’s Design Aspirations through teaching and service.

ASU is a comprehensive public research university, measured not by whom it excludes, but by whom it includes and how they succeed; advancing research and discovery of public value; and assuming fundamental responsibility for the economic, social, cultural and overall health of the communities it serves.

Successful candidates will demonstrate throughout their materials how their work will contribute to the fulfillment of this charter.

Faculty Associate positions are one semester (7.5 or 15 weeks), non-benefits-eligible, and fixed-term appointments with no tenure implications, not to exceed .40 FTE. The number of courses is contingent upon needs, funding, and sufficient enrollment. Individuals hired as Faculty Associates may not hold multiple, non-benefits-eligible appointments at Arizona State University. Salary is based upon qualifications and assigned teaching load.

This recruitment is to establish a part-time hiring pool for temporary and semester appointments. Applications are considered for the current year only. Applicants who are not hired are encouraged to reapply for the next posting.

This position serves as a lead instructor and includes teaching online, grading, providing feedback on student writing assignments (research proposal paper drafts, reading reflections, peer posts, etc.) managing the course’s Canvas (learning management system) page, and establishing warm and supportive relationships with students through class, office hours, emails, and meetings, as needed.
