Description

The Oglethorpe University Chemistry Program is seeking an adjunct instructor to teach two evening sections of General Chemistry I Lab during the Fall 2025 semester. The lab sections enroll no more than 16 students, so the learning environment is ideal for one-on-one faculty-student interactions. Applicants will be expected to foster an inclusive learning environment by engaging in and promoting diverse teaching, learning, and mentoring communities.

Laboratory courses meet for one three hour period each week. The two sections are scheduled to meet Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, from 6-9PM. The semester runs from August 25th to December 5th, with final exams in the following week. Final grades for the semester are due on Tuesday, December 16th. For more information about the teaching schedule, please reach out to Mariel Meier, Chair of the Division of Natural Sciences ().

Oglethorpe is committed to fostering a campus community and intellectual environment that recruits and maintains diverse faculty and staff, promotes a culture of respect for diverse experiences and perspectives, and understands and addresses the role of inequality in shaping our individual and collective identities. Adjunct faculty will be mentored and supported by Chemistry Program faculty who are committed to excellence in teaching and fostering a collaborative community.
