"Adjunct Faculty"

The Erickson School of Aging Studies at the University of Maryland Baltimore County is accepting applications for adjunct or part-time faculty to teach one or more courses in our Management of Aging Services programs in the Fall 2020 and/or Spring 2021 semesters.

In addition to teaching in the School’s undergraduate, graduate, and continuing education programs, adjuncts grade and evaluate students, and are regularly available to meet with students. Adjuncts may also have the opportunity to develop lectures, conduct seminars, and serve other administrative roles within the school. This opportunity is temporary and does not accrue benefits.

About the Erickson School of Aging Studies

The Erickson School of Aging Studies combines a passion for creating leaders and scholars in aging with a genuine connection to real-world applications. The unique strength of our community is that it brings together exceptionally talented people of different backgrounds, lived experiences, interests, approaches, and methodologies. The Erickson School created and continues to refine a distinctive interdisciplinary and integrated educational approach combining the critical elements of aging studies, management, and public policy. This unique model includes an active learning environment based in practice in addition to theory. Collaborators with The Erickson School have the opportunity to extend their interdisciplinary efforts further through partnerships with other units within UMBC including the Hilltop Institute, School of Public Policy, and the PhD in Gerontology Program. Our curriculum includes all aspects of aging services, with particular emphasis on expanding opportunities for individuals in the longevity economy.

The Erickson School supports a diverse student body, full and part-time, pursuing our B.A., M.A., and Accelerated B.A./M.A., and/or a Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in the Management of Aging Services. The Erickson School’s 300+ alumni and organizational partners have been instrumental in identifying new opportunities for successful aging by leading change in numerous aging service organizations and developing innovative policy initiatives at the local, state, and federal levels.

Applicants should have an earned Doctorate or terminal degree in Business, Management, Policy, Aging Studies, Gerontology, Applied Education, or any related field relevant to aging, the business of aging, and the longevity economy. We are particularly excited about applicants with experience in teaching online, including hybrid and blended instruction.

Applications should include a Cover Letter that details experience and qualifications, a resume or Curriculum Vitae, and a list of three references.
