Part Time Academic information

What is a part time academic?

Part-time academics are educators or researchers who work at educational institutions, such as universities or colleges, on a part-time basis rather than as full-time staff. They may teach courses, assist in research, or provide academic support while balancing other professional or personal commitments. These roles often offer flexible hours and can be ideal for those pursuing further studies or working in another field. Part-time academics are essential in bringing real-world experience and diverse perspectives to academic settings.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a part time academic, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Part Time Academic, you generally need subject-matter expertise, a relevant advanced degree (often a master's or doctorate), and prior teaching or research experience. Familiarity with learning management systems (LMS) like Blackboard or Canvas, as well as virtual classroom technologies, is typically required. Strong communication, time management, and adaptability help you engage diverse learners and balance multiple responsibilities. These skills and qualities are essential for delivering effective instruction, supporting student success, and managing flexible academic schedules.

What are some common challenges faced by part time academics, and how can they be managed effectively?

Part-time academics often face challenges such as balancing multiple teaching assignments across institutions, limited access to campus resources, and less time for research or professional development. Effective time management and clear communication with department heads can help address these issues. Building connections with full-time colleagues and participating in available faculty meetings or workshops can also foster a sense of community and provide access to valuable resources and support.

Job description

Description
The Yale School of Management is seeking individuals with experience and expertise from a wide range of academic and business disciplines who are interested in teaching in a part-time capacity. Demonstrated content expertise and a well-developed syllabus are required.
Applicants should either hold a terminal degree in their field or have significant senior level work experience. Previous teaching experience is preferred, but not required. Candidates must also be able to meet eligibility requirements for work in the United States at the time of the appointment and be able to work legally for the full term of the appointment.
Applicants should submit the following: 1) a brief cover letter, including any restrictions on teaching availability; 2) a curriculum vitae or resume; and 3) a proposed course syllabus. Please ensure the focus and objective of the course are clearly outlined and session topics, readings, assessments, and grading rubrics are included. Only complete applications will be considered. Considerations will include whether the proposed course provides unique subject matter that is of interest to Yale SOM students and is a good fit for the school's curriculum. For more information on our course descriptions, please see: https://som.yale.edu/elective-core-courses.
Part-time faculty are responsible for class content, delivery, and assignment of grades. Selected applicants are expected to work with the Dean's Office and cognizant faculty to make any necessary revisions to the scope or content of the course prior to its being offered. Level of compensation will be determined by course details; part-time faculty are non-ladder positions and do not include benefits.
Review of applications will begin on September 1, 2026 and will continue until all positions have been filled. Part-time faculty start dates and assignment lengths vary during the academic year and are determined on a case-by-case basis.
