Instructions for Affiliate Faculty Applicants
Thank you for your interest in Metropolitan State College of Denver.
IMPORTANT: All applicants for affiliate/part-time instructor positions must now apply through the Metro State Jobs Online Employment System at www.mscdjobs.com.
Candidates are required to complete the online application and then apply for a posting with the department of interest including attaching a current resume/cv. New applicants or continuing pool members who have not been hired as affiliate/part-time instructors in previous semesters will be asked to submit a cover letter along with their current resume/cv.
Please follow these steps to complete the online process after accessing the Metro State Jobs Online Employment System:
- If you have not previously applied online for a posting at MSCD, please select “Create Application” from the menu items on the left side of the screen. Select and enter a User Name and Password (Current employees, this is NOT your internal MetroConnect login) , then click the button CONTINUE TO PAGE 1 OF FACULTY/EXECUTIVE FORM>>.
- Establish a question and answer to be used in the event you forget your password.
- Complete all the required information in the application. NOTE: Any item with an asterisk next to it is a required field. You will not be able to complete your applicant if you do not input this information.
- Once you have completed the application process and agreed to the terms and conditions, you are ready to apply for a posting.
- Select “Search Postings” from the left side of the menu and input a position number provided by your department. For example, if applying for an affiliate/part-time instructor position in OCS, the position number is PTOCS1-001. After you have entered a position number, you may select search. If you do not have a valid position number, you can search by department using the drop down menu and selecting search.
- Once the correct position appears, you may select view button located directly under the position title. The information provided is a summary of the position details and the necessary requirements to successfully complete the online process. Please pay close attention to items with an asterisk. Some postings will have special instructions for other documentation to be sent directly to the department.
- The next step is to “APPLY FOR THIS POSTING”. Once you have selected this option, you will attach any necessary documents, such as a resume, cover letter (if required), and list of references (if required). Please be sure to select “Confirm Attaching Documents” and then select “Finish Attaching Documents”.
- Then, answer “Yes” to the question, “Are you sure you want to finish attaching documents for this posting?” You should receive a notice that your application has been submitted and will be provided with a confirmation number. You should write down the confirmation number for future reference.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! You have completed the online application process.
