Job description

Job Description:
Founded in 1979, The Chicago School is an independent professional graduate school with a dynamic student body and a professionally accomplished faculty. Our curriculum and training opportunities prepare graduates to deliver outstanding professional services emphasizing the ability to understand and work with diverse populations.
Position Summary:
The Applied Behavior Analysis Department at The Chicago School is seeking several highly qualified adjunct instructors to join our diverse faculty at our Chicago Campus in our M.S. Applied Behavior Analysis and Ph.D. Applied Behavior Analysis programs.
We offer a wide range of coursework in ABA, including a Verified Course Sequence (VCS) that meets requirements for the BACB® 5th edition Task List.
Courses run 15 weeks during the Spring and Fall semesters, and 8 weeks during the Summer semester. Courses are taught in two modalities at the Chicago campus:
  • Weekly - Monday through Thursday, morning, early afternoon, or evening each week.
  • Executive-style blended - meeting one day (Saturday or Sunday) per month with online assignments and brief remote meetings in between.

Principal Duties:
Engage students in ABA curriculum through discussion and assignments as outlined in the course syllabi. Provide students substantive feedback and respond to student questions and concerns in a timely manner. Maintain communication with department administration, faculty, and students.
Position Qualifications:
  • BCBA or BCBA-D required
  • Doctoral degree preferred
  • Teaching experience (3+ years preferred)
  • Strong commitment to academic excellence, research, community service, and diversity
  • Exemplary professional experience

The department seeks an individual who has the ability and interest in contributing to a community committed to student-centeredness, professional development and scholarship, integrity and ethics, respect for diversity and pluralism, innovation, flexibility, and teamwork and collaboration. Candidates who will advance equity, diversity, and inclusion through their teaching, scholarship, and service are strongly encouraged to apply.
Disclaimer:
The above statements are intended to describe the general nature and level of work being performed by people assigned to this classification. They are not to be construed as an exhaustive list of all responsibilities, duties, and skills required of personnel so classified. All personnel may be required to perform duties outside of their normal responsibilities from time to time, as needed.
This job posting, and all others for adjunct faculty roles with The Chicago School, are posted as "evergreen" roles. This means that there is usually an ongoing need for departments to hire 1-2 adjuncts each semester (usually for teaching specialized topics), and they prefer to keep a running pool of applicants to select from when the need to hire arises. Given this information, please note that your application to our evergreen roles will be reviewed on an as needed basis and you may not hear back immediately. If you would like an update on your application status, you can email National-HR@thechicagoschool.edu. We sincerely appreciate your interest in working with us and hope this won't deter you from continuing to submit your application for any current or future roles you may be interested in.
The Chicago School offers a generous compensation and benefits package, as well as the opportunity to work for a leader in the field of education. Some of our key benefits include: generous paid time-off, medical and dental coverage, company-paid life and disability insurance, retirement plan with employer contribution, multiple flexible spending accounts (FSA), tuition reimbursement, professional development, and regular employee appreciation events.
The Chicago School is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
