About the role

Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island, seeks a part-time Program Coordinator to lead the MFA program academically and administratively. You will plan residencies, liaise with faculty and administration, and manage budgeting, curriculum, admissions, and advising to support student success and program accreditation. The role requires an MFA or equivalent terminal degree and at least three years of leadership in academia, with preferred active standing as an artist or practitioner.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
