PG Full-Time Faculty/Clinical Coordinator, School of Nursing, Anamosa, Iowa

Job Description

Our Opportunity:

The Faculty/Clinical Coordinator role will provide support to Purdue University Global.

Building on Purdue University's mission to provide greater access to affordable, high-

quality education, Purdue University Global is a public, nonprofit institution offering a

world-class education online.

Successful candidates in this role will reside in the Anamosa, IA, area or within a

commutable distance.

Job Summary

This role is both a clinical coordinator position and a full-time faculty position. The

incumbent will typically teach a theory course or do clinical and/or labs along with the

clinical coordinating responsibilities.

Full-time faculty may have responsibilities in four areas: teaching, service, scholarship,

and professional development. The amount of time spent in each area is determined on

an annual basis, after discussion between the faculty member and their Program Head,

and may vary from year to year. The workload is based on the needs of the Department

and School, consistent with the university’s mission as a teaching institution. While the

majority of faculty typically spend the greatest percentage of their time teaching, there is

the opportunity in a given year for the percentage of time in any category to change.

Teaching responsibilities may include both undergraduate and graduate courses. The

number of courses assigned will consider credentials, program needs, course types, the

number of different preparations, and the number of students served.

Service will typically include participating in and/or taking leadership roles in Purdue

Global department or institution-wide governance committees. Service examples also

include course lead, training and mentoring other faculty, facilitating student-focused

organizations or activities, the evaluation of student portfolios, curriculum work, vacation

relief for colleagues, and leadership in professional organizations. In limited cases,

Specific Service Activities May Be Assigned Additional Compensation.

Scholarship activities vary with the interests of the individual faculty member and may

not be required. Scholarship activities should be developed in consultation with the

Dean, Associate Dean or Program Head. Examples of PG scholarship activities include

developing and implementing solutions or new approaches to academic and

professional challenges, as well as publishing articles related to research within the

discipline or profession and/or presenting at academic or professional meetings.

Some professional development (8 hours) is required for all faculty over the course of a

year. Faculty development beyond these minimum expectations may be considered part

of an annual workload, if determined appropriate by the Academic Program Head or

requested by the faculty member and approved by the Program Head.

A balance of these four responsibilities is intended to sustain the academic goals of the

university to serve adult learners, and advance the professional goals of the faculty,

while creating a supportive learning environment that provides students with a clear

path to graduation.
