Full Job Description

Department Information

GJD-311150 12/25: THIS POSITION IS NON-CLASSIFIED

Purpose/Summary

Applications received by January 31, 2026, will receive priority consideration. However, we encourage all interested candidates to apply, as the position will remain open until filled.

The Community College of Denver (CCD) seeks candidates who demonstrate a strong commitment to fostering an inclusive learning and work environment and who can effectively work with students, families, faculty, instructors, and staff from diverse backgrounds. As a Hispanic-Serving Institution, CCD is dedicated to expanding access and opportunity for nontraditional students, supporting workforce development, and strengthening community partnerships that promote educational attainment and career success. Serving a diverse student population, CCD values individuals who contribute to its mission of advancing social, civic, and economic vitality.

Description of Job

GENERAL SUMMARY

The Assistant Professor teaches English Composition courses and possibly other courses in related disciplines, which may include Creative Writing, Literature, Humanities or Technical/Professional Writing. Shares in the leadership of the department, pathway, and college.

Duties and Responsibilities

PRIMARY DUTIES

This position reports directly to one of the English Co-Chairs in the Arts, Communication, Design & Education Pathway and works collaboratively with other discipline faculty. All faculty within the pathway report indirectly to the pathway Dean.

Teaching Effectiveness and Professional Development

Primary teaching duties will be in English (ENG) composition courses: transferable and developmental. Limited teaching assignments in related disciplines (e.g., Literature, Humanities) are possible, dependent on individual faculty qualifications and departmental need. A full course load is defined as 15 credit hours per semester (5/5), with alternative assignments for administrative and related duties possible. Faculty must possess strong teaching skills and be able to engage students using traditional, nontraditional, and innovative methods of instruction. Evidence of a commitment to student academic success that goes beyond the classroom is essential, as are effective interpersonal, leadership, and organizational skills.

The college expects faculty to be active scholars/practitioners in their chosen field. They should continue to pursue their academic growth by taking formal academic courses or by attending conferences and workshops and otherwise reading, exploring and enriching their knowledge of developments in the English Composition fields.

Service to the College and to the Community

In addition to teaching, faculty in this position will work cooperatively with other faculty to engage in other departmental, pathway, and college initiatives and responsibilities, including curriculum development, textbook selection, assessment of student learning, professional development of adjunct instructors, and collaborating with other departments. Other duties may include advising students on programs and degree planning. All full-time faculty are also expected to serve and engage on college committees and/or other meaningful service activities.

After gaining more experience, full-time faculty may be expected to share in broader department and pathway leadership duties. These administrative duties typically include course scheduling and staffing, budgeting, hiring and supervising of adjunct instructors, resolving and mediating faculty/student disputes, mentoring adjunct instructors, and conducting professional development.

Faculty often serve as liaisons on local boards or commissions, often providing valuable leadership to the Auraria campus and the surrounding community as a whole.
