Purdue Global Full-Time Faculty ASN, School of Nursing (Perry, Iowa)
Purdue University 4.1
Associate professor job in Perry, IA
Our Opportunity:
The Full-Time Faculty role will provide support to Purdue University Global's School of Nursing. Building on Purdue University's mission to provide greater access to affordable, high-quality education, Purdue University Global is a public, nonprofit institution offering a world-class
education online.
Successful candidates in this role will reside in the Perry, IA, area or within a
commutable distance. The clinical site is located at Dallas County Hospital 610 10th
Street, Perry, IA 50220.
Job Summary:
Full-time faculty may have responsibilities in four areas: teaching, service, scholarship, and
professional development. The amount of time spent in each area is determined on an annual
basis, after discussion between the faculty member and their Program Head, and may vary from
year to year. The workload is based on the needs of the Department and School, consistent
with the university's mission as a teaching institution. While the majority of faculty typically
spend the greatest percentage of their time teaching, there is the opportunity in a given year for
the percentage of time in any category to change.
Teaching responsibilities may include both undergraduate and graduate courses. The number
of courses assigned will consider credentials, program needs, course types, the number of
different preparations, and the number of students served.
Service will typically include participating in and/or taking leadership roles in Purdue Global
department or institution-wide governance committees. Service examples also include course
lead, training and mentoring other faculty, facilitating student-focused organizations or activities,
the evaluation of student portfolios, curriculum work, vacation relief for colleagues, and
leadership in professional organizations. In limited cases, specific service activities may be
assigned additional compensation.
Scholarship activities vary with the interests of the individual faculty member and may not be
required. Scholarship activities should be developed in consultation with the Dean, Associate
Dean or Program Head. Examples of PG scholarship activities include developing and
implementing solutions or new approaches to academic and professional challenges, as well as
publishing articles related to research within the discipline or profession and/or presenting at
academic or professional meetings.
Some professional development (8 hours) is required for all faculty over the course of a year.
Faculty development beyond these minimum expectations may be considered part of an annual
workload, if determined appropriate by the Academic Program Head or requested by the faculty
member and approved by the Program Head.
A balance of these four responsibilities is intended to sustain the academic goals of the
university to serve adult learners, and advance the professional goals of the faculty, while
creating a supportive learning environment that provides students with a clear path to
graduation.
Teaching is typically the primary assignment for a Purdue Global faculty member, with
service, scholarship and additional professional development activities comprising the
balance of the annual workload. If no assignments are made in service and scholarship,
a faculty member whose only assignment is teaching would not exceed 16-18 courses
taught in a year.
What to expect in this role:

● Minimum two years related teaching experience and/or training (online teaching
experience is a plus).
● Active, unencumbered registered nursing license and/or advanced practice registered

What we're looking for:
● Experience with Brightspace learning management system (LMS) is preferred.
● Demonstrated proficiency with MS Office suite software, such as MS Word, Excel and
Powerpoint, as well as Google applications such as Gmail, Chat and Meet.
● Knowledge of Databases, Internet, Spreadsheet, and Word Processing software. Use of
PC, Internet, simulation equipment, and basic nursing equipment
● Excellent communication, organizational and time management skills, and the ability to
work independently with minimal supervision.
