where's the adjunct faculty @?

I need leads on places to apply for work in the Triangle and beyond


I've got a BA in English and an MA in Media Studies
I'm qualified to teach film, tv and radio audio editing and recording techniques, writing for radio, etc.
I currently live in NYC but am willing (eager?) to relocate

Colleges got no monies to hire people

Seriously though, I did see some teaching positions posted on NCSU today if you felt like coming back to Raleigh

5/30/2010 2:52:05 AM

got a link?

I'd put Raleigh on my "circuit"

since no one hires full-time faculty anymore (and yet we all still pay full-time prices for education) I believe I'm going to have to take several adjunct positions to make ends meet

I know many instructors in the NY area that teach at a number of institutions for a rate of about $5000 per class

at that rate you gotta do 5 classes a semester to be lower lower middle class here
NC is appealing because the same amount of money gets me a higher standard of living

Texas A&M is looking to hire people, I think. Or will be, soon.

$5000/class for an adjunct is really the upper end. I've personally seen rates as high as $4000 and as low as $1500.

If you have a master's degree and teaching experience, though, you might consider applying for faculty positions at community colleges--more job security and benefits, and they pay more than you might think.

I've got the MA and a little formal teaching experience (one semester as a TA) - I've also taught other things, however

I'm definitely checking out the community colleges!

I can vouch for their usefulness - I attended community college and I ended up alright

I figured $5000 was a "premium" figure considering that these folks had MFAs or PhDs and were teaching at NYU, the New School, Columbia, Pratt, Pace, etc.

^^^ you bust balls but I've been learning Max/MSP and Jitter which could easily be used for a project like that - thought exercises are pretty good

wait, are you still banned from stepping foot onto campus?

might be hard to teach a class if you aren't allowed on campus.

You took the words right out of my mouth

In the depts in Ed that I am familiar with, they pay 3k a class to teach it at NCSU.

with the legal market as shitty as it is, i have also found myself looking at teaching positions

even though most don't want JD teachers, but rather a MA or PhD

if I remember correctly the trespass order was good for 1 year

so I'm cool - I've been on that campus plenty of times since then

also, the charge was expunged from my record so...
