Education Faculty

Job Overview

At Clarke University, everything we do is focused on making an impact on students so they can positively impact the world. For students, it means a place where more than facts are studied – it means new ways of thinking are explored. For faculty and staff, it means more than just coming to work every day – it means truly collaborating across the university to put student success first. It also means living and working in a thriving city named one of the “most livable” small cities in the country and one of “Best Green Places” in the country.

The Department of Education seeks a full-time faculty position with content expertise in special education. This faculty position, with rank open and dependent upon degree and prior teaching experience at the college level, will begin August 2022. This renewable three-year appointment has the possibility to transition to the tenure-track at a later date, depending on faculty contribution and university need.

Preference will be given to candidates who have theoretical and practical application of special education instruction.
