• have experience in teaching in in-person, online, hybrid and/or intensive course delivery models.
• have scholarship or the potential for scholarship in counseling and/or counselor education and supervision that unites faith, research, and professional practice. 

The faculty appointment would be dedicated to the Asbury Seminary Wilmore Campus and possible teaching deployments at the Seminary’s Asbury Global sites (currently Orlando, Tampa, Tulsa, Memphis, and Colorado Springs) as determined by programmatic needs.  The normal teaching load for full-time faculty is six courses within an eleven-month contract.  Specific teaching assignments are determined by the Dean of the School of Counseling in consultation with the offices of the Provost, Academic Affairs, and programmatic needs.

The preferred, though negotiable, starting date is January 1, 2026. Applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
