Nursing Adjunct

OC Mission and Purpose: Oklahoma Christian University educates, mentors, and inspires learners to fulfill their God-given potential. OC is committed to hiring employees actively engaged in Christian discipleship as we strive to create an employment culture that encourages faculty and staff to lean into the university’s Christian mission, emphasizing authenticity and unity, not uniformity. We encourage you to explore our beliefs to determine if our mission is your calling. Oklahoma Christian University invites applications for adjunct faculty positions in several disciplines and assignments to courses for delivery through various modalities, including on-campus and online. Required qualifications vary from department to department, but a discipline-related master's degree or a combination of education and relevant professional experience are generally required. Candidates with terminal degrees and other specialized training are also highly desired.

Adjunct appointments are part-time (typically one or two courses) and made on a semester-by-semester basis but often result in recurring assignments within a regular course rotation. Adjunct openings frequently occur with short notice, so the Oklahoma Christian Human Resources office accepts adjunct applications at all times.

This is an on-campus, in-person position.
