Job Description:
Oakton has an opening beginning with the Spring 2010 semester to teach applied cello. Applied contrabass offers private study in specialized areas. The intent of applied cello is to increase the ability to perform more advanced music from all periods and styles.
Part-time music faculty are paid at $42 per academic hour for applied music courses.
Part-time faculty are paid on a basis called lecture hour equivalents (LHE). For most courses, the LHE is the same as a credit hour. For others, the LHE represents the additional work for teaching the class, such as grading papers for Composition classes or teaching a class with a laboratory section (computers, languages, and the sciences); in those cases, the LHE represents a figure higher than the credit hour. All part-time faculty start at the beginning pay rates, regardless of the level and type of experience obtained elsewhere. Those rates for the 2009-10 year are $825/LHE for those without doctorates and $855/LHE for those with doctorates.
Part-time faculty advance one step within the salary schedule with the successful completion of two fall and spring semesters where 3 or more credit hours are taught in each semester.
Requirements:
A master's degree in Music with music teaching experience (teaching experience preferred in cello), or a bachelor's degree with professional music experience is required.
Additional Information:
Part-time faculty hires and assignments are coordinated by the department chairs. Contact Glenna Sprague at 847.635.1905 or gsprague@oakton.edu for more information.
Part-time faculty are hired on a semester-by-semester basis. A reasonable effort is made to assure the assignment of courses to more senior part-time faculty who are fully qualified by virtue of their education, training, work experience as related to current technology and pedagogical techniques, and who have had a history of successful performance at Oakton Community College.
All assignments are conditioned on sufficient enrollment. Once a course starts, the part time faculty member is expected to complete the course.
Application Instructions:
Required documents for a complete application file include an application, cover letter, resume/cv, official transcripts for all degrees earned, and 2 original, signed recommendation letters or college placement/credential file. The recommendation letters may either be original or e-mailed directly from the reference. The transcripts may either be official or pdf copies of official transcripts.
