Job Description:
Oakton is looking for qualified part-time Fire Science faculty for the Spring 2010 semester.
Part-time faculty are paid on a lecture hour equivalents (LHE) basis. For most courses, the LHE is the same as a credit hour. For others, the LHE represents 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 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 2 fall & spring semesters where 3+ credit hours are taught in each semester.
Requirements:
A bachelor's degree, a minimum of one year of relevant fire department experience, and Fire Service Instructor II certification are required. Preferred qualifications include additional fire department experience, prior college teaching experience, and OSFM certification in Specialty courses.
Additional Information:
Part-time faculty hires and assignments are coordinated by the department chairs. Contact Stanley Kimura at 847.635.1827 or kimuras@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 the hiring credential, 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. Interested applicants must submit their application, cover letter and resume/cv on the Oakton website. Please indicate the position code (PTFIR-10) on the cover letter.
