The Evergreen State College seeks an adjunct faculty to teach an algebra-based physics course sequence in fall, winter, and spring quarters of academic year 2024-25. We expect the sequence to cover traditional topics in algebra-based physics, such as mechanics, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, and thermodynamics. Some lab instruction is expected. Course modality is flexible: fully in-person, fully on-line, or some combination will be determined in consultation with the successful candidate. Any synchronous (live) instruction will need to be during late afternoon/evening or weekend hours. Evergreen values innovative teaching that connects theory to practice, supports learners from diverse academic backgrounds, and encourages collaborative learning.

Faculty are generally responsible for writing narrative evaluations for 25 students per quarter. Faculty are also responsible for advising students as they reflect on their learning process, develop a pathway of study, and formulate their own areas of concentration.



Our teaching is student-centered, which means we are interested in helping students develop strong skills in critical thinking, problem solving, communication and collaborative work. Because over 80% of our students come from underserved and marginalized groups, we are particularly invested in approaches to teaching that emphasize diversity and equity, that provide opportunities for challenge and growth, and that foster a learning environment where all are welcome and all can learn from each other.



A complete list of faculty responsibilities can be found in the .
