Primary Purpose and Essential Functions | McGeorge School of Law invites applications for one (1) adjunct professor position to develop a new online course on Intellectual Property Law immediately, and to teach the course in the 2024-25 academic year. This three (3) unit course will be fully online and asynchronous in delivery, and will primarily be offered as part of the Master of Science in Law, Business Law concentration. In this course students will learn about the laws and policy rationales related to intellectual property law, with a focus on patents, copyrights, and trademarks. The faculty selected through this posting will choose the text and develop the substantive curriculum consistent with McGeorge standards. Faculty-student interaction (via asynchronous discussion, feedback, messaging, and remote office hours), accessibility, and achievement of credit hour standards are the highest priorities. The adjunct professor will be required to follow a strict timeline for course development with mandatory deadlines, and to coordinate with McGeorge Online Graduate Programs and program partners on an ongoing basis. The professor will be assisted by an Instructional Designer (ID) who will handle technical issues and manage course development. The professor will be responsible for ensuring that content and content delivery is consistent with University of the Pacific and McGeorge School of Law policies, in coordination with the ID and McGeorge’s Faculty Director for Online Learning. Full-time faculty with subject-matter expertise are available for consultation. Training in online course development, recording technology, and other support will be provided. Non-tenure-track faculty members collaborate in fulfilling the University’s mission to provide a superior, student-centered learning experience integrating liberal arts and professional education and preparing individuals for lasting achievement and responsible leadership in their careers and communities. Part-time faculty are appointed as needed by each unit and considered as less than full time annual appointment as specified by each unit. Part time is determined by the unit based on a comparison to year-long appointments. Time of service on a part-time appointment may not accrue to time for appointment with tenure. (FHB 7.1.6). Appointments for full-time non-tenure-track faculty members may be issued as single-year or multi-year terms, and may be renewable. University of the Pacific recognizes that diversity, equity, and inclusion is foundational to the success of our valued students and employees. We prioritize policy and decision-making that demonstrates awareness of, and responsiveness to, the ways socio-cultural forces related to race, gender, ability, sexuality, socio-economic status, etc. impede or propel students, faculty and staff. |
