Candidates interested in a 12-month fulltime faculty appointment are encouraged to apply. For candidates with commensurate experience and interest, a leadership role within a program or academic operations could be considered.

The School seeks a qualified researcher with a neuroscience focus (including research related to Alzheimer’s, autism, or other brain research) eligible for the rank of assistant or associate professor with tenure to shape and advance the understanding of brain function across the lifespan through the integration of neuroscience research into clinical practice, education, and/or health policy.
Clinical Instructor of Nursing or Lecturer in Nursing (Faculty Wage)
The School seeks wage faculty to support undergraduate nursing students in clinical settings. The position involves supervising students, typically one day per week, during their clinical rotations, providing guidance and feedback, and evaluating student performance to ensure safe, evidence-based practice. Faculty are expected to foster professional behavior, reinforce theoretical knowledge, and promote critical thinking in real-world care environments. Wage clinical faculty work closely with lead course faculty and clinical site staff to support student learning and uphold program standards. Responsibilities include pre- and post-conference facilitation, clinical documentation review, grading/reviewing of course related assignments, and timely communication with students and faculty.
This is a semester-based, wage role with flexible scheduling, depending on clinical site availability and faculty interest. Applicants must have a current Virginia RN license in good standing, an MSN (a BSN will be considered with appropriate additional credentials), two years' clinical experience, and strong communication and organizational skills.
