Want to Teach College? Here's Your Chance

Ever had a hankering to be a college professor? Here's your chance to dip your toe into the pond at Middlesex County College and put that master's degree to good use.

The school will hold an Adjunct Faculty Recruitment Fair on Wednesday, April 23, from 4 to 7 pm in the College Center Cafeteria. Prospective adjunct instructors can talk with department chairpersons about the array of openings.

The range of courses for which they are seeking teachers is huge - everything from American History and Ancient Egyptian History to Political Science, languages, and all types of English classes on the liberal arts side, to accounting, business, food service

“This is a convenient way for professionals who would like to teach at the College level to find out about opportunities and even interview for available positions,” said Dr. Karen L. Hays, vice president for academic and student affairs at the College.

Most positions require a master’s degree, and some disciplines call for other certifications as well. In some fields, relevant experience may be substituted for a master’s degree; however, all college level courses require that the instructor have a minimum of a master’s degree.

Please download an application from the college’s website, www.middlesexcc.edu/hr, complete it, and bring several resumes and a copy of an unofficial transcript.

There are several high-demand areas in which a number of positions are open, such as Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, General Biology, General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Forensic Accounting and Fraud Examination. There is a critical need for adjuncts able to teach during the day.

Also, given the academic preparation required for every major, there is a continuing need for instructors to teach reading, writing, and math courses at both the developmental and higher levels, as well as Psychology, Philosophy and Health.

Classes are offered during the day, evenings and on Saturday at the Edison campus and at the Centers in New Brunswick and Perth Amboy. Please see the website for a list of available courses.
