CCP is looking to hire part-time English faculty!

The Community College of Philadelphia is hiring part-time faculty in English. A current faculty member writes, "there are a few perks of teaching part-time at CCP:

1) CCP students are amazing, and many colleagues (faculty & staff) are phenomenally invested, introspective, and caring.

2) CCP hires full-timers from the adjunct pool. In fact, the college is contractually required by the union to hire some percentage of current adjuncts when they interview for full-time positions. So, unlike many universities, teaching part-time can potentially lead to getting hired full time.

3) CCP's union has been relatively strong over the years, and this means better benefits than most colleges offer to adjuncts: decent starting pay per credit for the region, more seniority pools, partial contributions to health care, and eventual partial retirement contributions.

4) CCP offers lots of great faculty-led professional development. In particular, there's currently a lot of energy around diversity, anti-racism and inclusion programming and fellowships.

5) The CCP English Department is large (about 100 full-timers and many more adjuncts), and this means that faculty looking to get involved and meet like-minded colleagues can find them and seek out shared work with those colleagues."

Apply by sending your application to Girija Nagaswami, English Department Chair at CCP: gnagaswami@ccp.edu.
