Walden continues its tradition of quality as it grows. Walden's School of Counseling seeks faculty members for the Clinical Mental HealthCounseling program’s core (full-time) faculty positions. This is an opportunity for candidates to share their professional experience and academic knowledge with students across the country and around the world. This is a remote position; with a computer and a high-speed Internet connection, the faculty member can teach from any location.

All new faculty members receive specific training from Walden University in the techniques of online teaching; use of an electronic learning platform; specifics of the policies, procedures, and degree programs of the School or College in which they are going to teach; socialization into the Walden University culture; assessment of academic integrity of student work (including use of www.turnitin.com); and research supervision of theses and dissertations. Teaching and mentorship assignments are contingent upon successful completion of required training. During the first term of teaching, faculty members may be assigned a faculty peer mentor (senior colleague) as an extension of their new instructor training. Peer mentors will continue to support instruction and provide peer reviews of the classroom on a regular basis.

Discussion Boards for classrooms are open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. Faculty members are expected to be in the classroom a minimum of 4 days per week and responses to student questions must be posted within 48 hours. The university suggests regular and predictable availability, such as online office hours or regular online chats; office hours may be required based on program or college policy.

Graduate-level faculty may be invited to attend Residencies held domestically or internationally, where they will teach face-to-face intensives and colloquia, and facilitate school and university-wide discussions. Core (full-time) faculty may be required to attend and teach at face-to-face residencies.
Licensing/Certification
Faculty members must be appropriately credentialed, possess an earned degree from an accredited institution or an institution that is recognized by a country's ministry of education in the discipline being taught, and may be expected to be licensed or license-eligible in order to teach in specific programs.

Faculty members are also expected to maintain currency with research by reviewing articles, journals, and presentations. If participating in research, the faculty member may publish and acknowledge Walden University.

Other Duties and Responsibilities
Core faculty members may be required to perform other duties and responsibilities, including administrative, supervisory, and management tasks, as determined by the program leadership.
