Instructions for Affiliate Faculty Applicants
Thank you for your interest in Metropolitan State University of Denver.
The Equal Opportunity Office for MSU Denver requires departments to update their position descriptions and replenish their Affiliate/Part-Time Instructor pool every three (3) years. We are coordinating the department pool and position description update with the upgrade of People Admin 7.0 implemented on September 20, 2012. Therefore many departments are in the process of updating their position descriptions and they are not currently posted at this time.
The EO Office has requested that all departments have their updated Affiliate/Adjunct faculty position descriptions updated and posted by November 1, 2012. These will be three year pools and in order to be considered for an Affiliate/Adjunct faculty position all applicants MUST apply through the online system. This requirement also includes those candidates who have been hired by a department in the past.
The Office of Academic Affairs and the Dean’s have requested that ALL APPLICANTS update their vitae/resume and submit it online at www.msudenverjobs.com to the specific position they are applying for. All applicants must apply to EACH department that they are interested in. Affiliate/Adjunct faculty positions will be found under the “Faculty Positions” tab at www.msudenverjobs.com. New applicants to the pool will be required to attach a cover letter, resume/vitae and a list of three professional references. The department can request letters of reference and COPIES of transcripts in the special instructions area of the position description announcement. So please pay attention to the “Special Instructions” in the position description.
Important Note: People Admin 7.0 will only allow the applicant to create an “Application” (with User Name, Password and personal information) if they are applying for a specific position. Therefore we request that you watch for the department’s position description and then apply to the position that you are interested in. Qualified applicants will be placed in the departmental pool and will be considered for Affiliate Faculty departmental needs until the end of Summer Term 2015.. Only those applicants who apply through the online application system at www.msudenverjobs.com will be considered.
