Position Summary

The Graduate School of Professional Psychology seeks to hire faculty to provide services beyond contracted expectations for academic year 2023-2024, including in summer 2024. These duties may fall into teaching or non-teaching functions, including but not limited to providing clinical supervision, service and student support, scholarship, and/or administration.

This posting will serve for multiple openings. These roles are non-benefited and not to exceed 1,000 hours in a calendar year.

Essential Functions

• Details of all teaching and non-teaching responsibilities will be provided by the department at the time of hire.

Required Qualifications

• Current employment in an adjunct or core faculty status at the University of Denver

Application Deadline

Applications are currently being reviewed for the 2023-2024 academic year, and will remain open until filled.

Special Instructions

Candidates must apply online through jobs.du.edu  to be considered. Only applications submitted online will be accepted.

Course Rate

Teaching overloads are typically paid at a rate of $1,193 per credit per course.

Instructors who are co-teaching a content course that does not involve clinical supervision will split the credits, so each co-teacher receives half of the pay above. Seminar courses that require supervision may be designed to have multiple co-leaders to allow for appropriate student-to-supervisor ratios, in which case each co-leader is paid proportionally to the credit hour rate above. In addition, Cognitive Affective Psychology and Social Psychology are paid double the above rate since they are required courses that require specific degrees with implications for accreditation. Non-teaching overloads are compensated at a rate of $100-$10,000 based on assignment.

The University of Denver has provided a compensation range that represents its good faith estimate of what the University may pay for the position at the time of posting. The University may ultimately pay more or less than the posted compensation range. The salary offered to the selected candidate will be determined based on factors such as the qualifications of the selected candidate, departmental budget availability, internal salary equity considerations, and available market information, but not based on a candidate’s sex or any other protected status.

Benefits

The University of Denver  offers some benefits for non-benefited employees. The University of Denver is a private institution that empowers students who want to make a difference. Learn more about the University of Denver .
