General DescriptionThe Advanced Academic Programs (AAP) unit of the Krieger School seeks an Adjunct Professor to refresh and teach the online course of 470.625 - Resource Development and Marketing in Nonprofits for the Master of Arts degree in Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) Management and the Graduate Certificate in Nonprofit Management. The MA in NGO Management is the first of its kind to be international in scope, but domestic in practice. Students acquire the leadership, management, and organizational skills needed to succeed in the nonprofit sector, both domestically in the U.S., and abroad. The MA in NGO Management is made up of ten asynchronous online courses (6 core courses, 3 electives, 1 capstone), with the occasional 3-week study abroad opportunity (depending on the season). Courses focus on leadership, fundraising, grant writing, strategic planning, project management, communications and resource development. Students complete their studies with a capstone project that focuses on a real-world issue which is relevant to present or future employers. This course is one of the core course requirements of the degree. We invite applications to fill an adjunct teaching position (10-15 hours/week), non-tenure track, semester-by-semester hire. The degree and certificate programs are fully online. The adjunct professor will report to the Program Director for the MA in NGO Management and the Certificate in Nonprofit Management. As the nation's oldest and one of the most prestigious research universities, Johns Hopkins offers high-quality master's degrees and post-baccalaureate education to students located in the greater Baltimore and Washington, D.C. regions and throughout the United States and abroad.
