Lecturer in Undergraduate Nursing Program (Non-Tenure Track)

The School of Nursing at Old Dominion University invites qualified candidates to apply for a full-time, 12-month, non-tenure-track nursing faculty position in the undergraduate nursing program. We are committed to building a diverse faculty, dedicated to student success, and embrace faculty satisfaction and professional growth as one of our top priorities. Our School is searching for a faculty member who will share and contribute to our mission to transform healthcare by preparing exceptional nurses, extending nursing science and partnering with our global community. The start date for the position will be July 25, 2023. 

Faculty responsibilities will include didactic and clinical instruction in settings for pre-licensure BSN students.

Salary and appointment rank are competitive and are commensurate with experience.
