Application Process for Part-Time Adjunct Professors and Teaching Assistants

Teaching at Servants University

Current positions

Servants University is looking for part-time adjunct professors and teaching assistants for a variety of courses. All our courses are taught online, so teachers can live in any country in the world as long as they have access to high-speed internet and online resources for research.

We are looking for professors and teaching assistants with experience in the following areas:

  • Theology, Biblical Studies, missions, etc. (e.g., DMin, Ph.D.)
  • Anthropology, Sociology, Psychology (Ph.D.)
  • Business Administration (MBA, Ph.D.)
  • Public health (e.g., MPH, Ph.D.)

The Candidates We Seek

At SU, we are inspired by the idea that orphans and vulnerable children deserve the best care possible and are proud that SU is the first institution of higher learning in the world to offer college degrees and certificate programs aimed at bridging this unfair gap. We are inspired by the fact that many believers around the world desire to serve God as pastors, missionaries, and counselors and are excited to provide the training they need for God to use them fully. We are also inspired by the fact that Christians all over the world who are called to the workplace desire to grow in their ability to understand and apply God’s word, and have created a platform to serve them as well. We want teachers who are genuinely inspired and excited about these things.

We see teaching as worship and expect our professors, teaching assistants, and staff to genuinely love students and be servant-hearted, relationship-builders, and growth-minded people who go above and beyond the call of duty to help students grow and advance the purpose, mission, and vision of the Institution. Only people who are on fire for these things will thrive here. If you are not genuinely passionate about these things, please don’t apply.  We mean that kindly because that will save time for you and for us.
