Institution Description
Advanced Academic Programs (AAP) is a division of the Johns Hopkins University’s Krieger School of Arts and Sciences. As part of the nation’s first research university, AAP offers high-quality master’s degrees and certificate programs at its Washington, D.C., Center, at JHU’s Homewood Campus in Baltimore, Maryland, and online. AAP enrolls almost 6,000 students each academic year in over 45 programs and distinguishes itself through its intensive instructional assistance, selective admissions, and 60 dedicated full-time faculty. Tenured Krieger School faculty members serve as program chairs to oversee the academic rigor of AAP’s graduate offerings. AAP’s website, https://advanced.jhu.edu/, provides additional information.

The MA in Nonprofit Management is the first of its kind to be international in scope, but domestic in practice. Students acquire the leadership and organizational skills needed to succeed in the nonprofit sector, both domestically and abroad. The MA in Nonprofit Management is made up of ten asynchronous online courses (6 core courses, 3 electives, 1 capstone). Courses focus on leadership, governance, project management, monitoring and evaluation, communications, international nonprofits, and resource development. Students complete their studies with a capstone project that focuses on a real-world issue which is relevant to present or future employers.

We invite applications to fill an adjunct teaching position (10-15 hours/week), non-tenure track, semester-by-semester hire, (possibility of contract renewal by semester) to teach for the nonprofit management program. The degree is fully online with primarily asynchronous classes. Applicants should have documented previous online course development/instructional experience at the graduate level.  We seek applicants with an expertise in the nonprofit sector broadly, international nonprofit work, program evaluation, financial management, human resources, and fundraising/resource development. The adjunct professor will report to the Associate Program Director of the Nonprofit Management program.

• Attend adjunct faculty kick-off and other professional development meetings;
