The Evergreen State College seeks to create a pool of adjunct faculty able to teach courses and programs on the Olympia campus. Courses in our evening and weekend curriculum are typically 2, 4, or 6 quarter hours while programs are typically 8 credits. Specific areas of interest to the College include the following:

These are adjunct faculty positions and are not eligible for continuing appointment. All requirements for these positions must be completed at the time of hire. Salary for all positions is based on experience and degrees (see http://www.evergreen.edu/facultyhiring/salarygrid for more information). We do not offer relocation expenses for our adjunct faculty positions.

The Evergreen State College offers full-time programs during the day and courses and half-time programs during evening hours and on weekends (EWS). The EWS curriculum provides opportunities for schedule-bound students and to supplement the full-time, daytime curriculum. Programs are the interdisciplinary coursework that form the core of Evergreen’s curriculum. In Evening and Weekend Studies, a variety of 8 and 12-credit programs are offered. Many of them are team-taught. Programs may last one, two or even three quarters, building on themes developed in previous quarters. Courses are more narrowly focused. There are 2 and 4-credit courses available and occasional 6-credit offerings. Courses are typically taught by one faculty member. Many students take courses to complement the interdisciplinary programs described above or in combination with individual study options.

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 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. The Evergreen State College is an equal opportunity employer.

Most faculty will teach in full-time, team-taught, 16-credit programs connected by a particular theme or line of inquiry. Faculty are generally responsible for evaluating 25 students/quarter, though their programs may include up to 50-75 students, depending on the size of their teaching team. This arrangement allows for in-depth, interdisciplinary and experiential learning, and the building of strong learning communities. 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.
