Adjunct Professor of Marketing

The USC Marshall School of Business is accepting applications for a part-time, non-tenure-track faculty position for the academic year. This position will be available in the Marketing Department.

USC defines two categories of appointment for faculty working less than fulltime. These are adjunct and part-time. The difference in the categories is primarily based on the nature of a faculty member's professional work outside of teaching at USC.

Definition of Adjunct Faculty

USC reserves the Adjunct Faculty appointment for faculty teaching less than full-time at USC, who are employed full-time in a primary profession or career elsewhere. Adjunct faculty typically teach only one course per year but, in exceptional cases, may teach one course per semester, if approved by the dean. For example, a full-time freelance artist, a lawyer employed full-time at a firm, a pharmacist employed full-time by a pharmacy, or a consultant / entrepreneur / CFO who teaches 1-2 classes a year for USC would be considered an adjunct faculty member. A retired person who considers themselves fully retired, but teaches 1-2 classes a year for USC, could be considered Adjunct Faculty or Part-time Faculty.

Definition of Part-time Faculty

USC reserves the Part-time Faculty appointment for faculty teaching less than full-time who are not employed full-time in a primary position or career elsewhere. For example, a therapist with a part-time private practice, a musician who books performances on what they consider to be a part-time basis, a biologist who has a part-time job in a lab, or someone retired from a career who teaches less than full-time at USC could be considered Part-time Faculty. Part-time faculty under this definition may teach a maximum of 3 courses per semester, and we hope to limit that to 2 courses per semester as full-time faculty numbers increase.

Requirements for non-tenure-track positions include a doctoral degree or foreign equivalent in an area of study appropriate to the hiring department. No experience is specifically required although consideration may be given to candidates with experience teaching at the college / university level and / or who can demonstrate evidence of research competence. Salary is dependent on qualifications, and employee benefits for full-time faculty are excellent.

Qualified candidates should submit a letter of application and CV (on-line).

The per course salary range for this position is $7,500-$17,000. When extending an offer of employment, the University of Southern California considers factors such as (but not limited to) the scope and responsibilities of the position, the candidate’s work experience, education / training, key skills, internal peer equity, federal, state and local laws, contractual stipulations, grant funding, as well as external market and organizational considerations.
