About the role

Virginia Commonwealth University, through the L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs, is soliciting applicants for an adjunct pool for the Spring 2026 semester and beyond. The Public Administration Master’s Program seeks instructors to teach as openings arise, both in-person and online, with responsibilities including timely grading, student inquiries within 24 hours, and adherence to university policy.

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.
