Position Announcement
Utah Valley University's Woodbury School of Business extends an invitation for applications for a Part-Time Faculty position specializing in International Business. This role represents a significant opportunity for an experienced professional to contribute to the academic and professional development of students within a dynamic and expanding university setting.
The successful candidate will be responsible for teaching one to two in-person classes per semester. These courses will be delivered within the Woodbury School of Business, located on the UVU Orem campus, and will form an integral part of the International Business curriculum, which is designed to prepare students for successful careers in a globalized economy. This position directly supports the Woodbury School of Business's core commitment to "Exceptional Teaching" and aligns with UVU's overarching mission of fostering student success through excellence in engaged teaching, services, and scholarship.
UVU's identity as an integrated university and community college shapes the nature of teaching at the institution. This integrated model signifies a diverse student population, encompassing individuals with varying academic backgrounds and diverse career aspirations, ranging from vocational training to four-year degrees. Consequently, the concept of "engaged teaching" at UVU extends beyond traditional lecture delivery. It necessitates that part-time faculty members possess the ability to adapt their pedagogical approaches to cater to this broad spectrum of learners. The focus shifts towards fostering practical application and real-world relevance in the classroom, rather than solely emphasizing theoretical instruction. This approach distinguishes the teaching experience at UVU from that at institutions primarily focused on research. Therefore, the ideal candidate for this role will not only be a subject matter expert in International Business but also a skilled educator capable of connecting with a wide range of students, facilitating the acquisition of practical, applicable knowledge.
Summary of Responsibilities
The part-time faculty member will undertake a range of responsibilities central to UVU's and the Woodbury School of Business's pedagogical philosophies.
Instructional Design and Delivery: The faculty member will be tasked with the comprehensive design, preparation, and delivery of engaging and effective in-person courses within the International Business discipline. This includes adhering to approved course outlines and ensuring that measurable learning objectives are established and met. A critical aspect of this role involves the development and continuous updating of instructional materials, such as syllabi, lecture content, assignments, and assessments, in both electronic and traditional paper formats. Furthermore, the effective utilization of the university's course management system, such as Canvas (which is noted as a valuable asset in faculty qualifications) , is essential for facilitating learning, communication, and overall course management.
Student Engagement and Assessment: A core responsibility involves actively instructing, managing, and supervising individuals and groups within the classroom setting. This requires the application of appropriate teaching methods that promote active and engaged learning, consistent with the Woodbury School's emphasis on maximizing student improvement through such approaches. The faculty member will evaluate student learning through various assessment methods, providing timely and constructive feedback crucial for student improvement and academic achievement. Maintaining a student-oriented approach to education is paramount, which includes conferencing with students regarding coursework, academic progress, and general academic endeavors. The creation of a welcoming and student-centered learning environment is also a key expectation.
Administrative and Professional Duties: Beyond direct instruction, the role entails maintaining and submitting accurate and current reports and records pertaining to student accountability, attendance, and performance. Faculty are expected to collaborate on department business as assigned, which may include participation in faculty meetings and other departmental discussions. Upholding professional and ethical teaching standards, along with strict adherence to University policies and procedures, is fundamental to the position. Continuous professional improvement and maintaining currency in the courses taught and within the broader field of International Business are also expected.
Qualifications / Licenses / Certifications
Candidates must demonstrate a strong academic foundation relevant to the field of International Business. This includes graduation from an accredited institution with a Master's degree in one of the following disciplines: Business Administration (MBA), Management, or International Business. Furthermore, a fundamental requirement for this position is the ability to teach assigned courses in-person on the Utah Valley University Orem campus, ensuring direct engagement with the student body in a traditional classroom setting.
Preferred Qualifications:
The following qualifications are preferred; they are highly valued and will significantly strengthen an applicant's candidacy: Demonstrated college or university teaching experience is preferred. For instance, prior faculty postings have indicated a preference for "Two years of college/university teaching experience" for lecturer roles, providing a benchmark for the level of experience sought.
Relevant professional experience in international business is also highly valued. The International Business program at UVU aims to prepare graduates for "the job market in a wide variety of industries" and provides "multiple opportunities to interact and network with industry partners on in-class projects and internships". Similarly, the Woodbury School of Business emphasizes "genuine connections between faculty/staff and industry that facilitate student success". This strong emphasis on practical application and industry connection means that significant professional experience in international business would be a considerable asset. Such experience enables part-time faculty to infuse real-world case studies, current industry trends, and practical insights directly into the classroom. This directly supports the program's objective of preparing students for successful careers and fostering vital industry connections, bridging the gap between academic theory and practical application.
Finally, familiarity with modern learning management systems, such as Canvas (which is noted as a beneficial skill in other faculty postings), and other educational technologies is a preferred qualification, demonstrating a candidate's readiness to leverage digital tools in instruction.
