About the role

The Department of Communication, Art, and Design seeks adjunct instructors to teach undergraduates in our Graphic Design program beginning in Fall 2023. Courses include COMM 370 (Graphic Design I), COMM 375 (Graphic Design II), COMM 451 (Graphic Design III), JOUR 375 (Layout and Design), COMM 470 (Graphic Design IV), and COMM 472 (Web Publishing). Applicants need at least a master’s degree in Graphic Design, Design & Visual Communication, or Fine Arts. Courses are in‑person on the Boiling Springs, NC campus and offered during daytime hours. If interested, please complete the application and include a letter of interest, résumé or CV (including a history of teaching experience, knowledge of Adobe InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator; as well as any scholarly areas), transcripts, portfolio of personal and professional work, and a list of three references. Unofficial transcripts are acceptable for application review. If hired, official transcripts must be sent directly from the institution (to Academic Affairs for full‑time and undergraduate adjuncts, or to gradstudies@gardner-webb.edu for graduate adjuncts). Screening of applicants will begin immediately and continue until courses are staffed. #J-18808-Ljbffr

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.
