Overview
Trinity Christian College invites applications for a full-time tenure-track faculty position in the Department of Nursing, beginning August 2025.
Qualifications
A minimum of a master's degree in nursing is required, a doctorate with a nursing focus is preferred. Clinical practice experience in adult health, medical/surgical nursing and ability to teach both theory and clinical is required. Current unencumbered licensure as a registered nurse in Illinois is required. Successful experience in teaching at the baccalaureate level is desirable.
Trinity seeks faculty candidates who are professing Christians and are committed to excellence in teaching, scholarship, and service. Successful candidates will possess the ability to articulate the relationship among their academic discipline, the vocational preparation of their students, and a vision for human flourishing that emerges from the Christian faith. Successful candidates will also be dedicated to personal involvement with students outside of the classroom through advising and other informal academic and cultural settings. Trinity particularly welcomes applications from candidates who have professional or personal narratives that reflect diverse perspectives, as well as those who have engaged with issues relevant to preparing students to work and live with intercultural competence and compassion.
Responsibilities
This is a 9-month tenure-track faculty role. Primary responsibilities include teaching both the theory and clinical components of Adult Health courses (I, II or III). Consideration for ability to teach in a second clinical area (obstetrics, mental health), but not required. Faculty members also advise and mentor students and contribute to the development of the department and the college.
All faculty participate in faculty governance and are expected to pursue a healthy scholarly and research agenda. In their first year, new faculty participate in a year-long formation program that begins with a three-day institute in August.
