About the role
Sport Psychology Instructor Alvernia University is currently seeking a qualified adjunct faculty member to teach Sport Psychology. This course examines psychological factors that influence sport and exercise participation and performance, including motivation, confidence, attention, stress, group dynamics, and the psychological aspects of injury and recovery. Students apply evidence-based concepts and strategies to support performance, well-being, and positive participation in sport and physical activity. Adjunct faculty are expected to teach the course, prepare course materials, assess student learning, be available to meet with students outside of regularly scheduled class time, and provide support and guidance for students. Required qualifications include a minimum of a master's degree in Sport Psychology, Kinesiology, Exercise Science, Psychology, or a closely related field, with graduate coursework or professional expertise in sport psychology. Preference will be given to candidates who have previous college-level teaching experience and experience applying sport psychology principles in athletic, exercise, or performance settings. Complete applications are to include a cover letter, CV, contact information for three professional references, and required background clearances.
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.
