## Join Capella University as Part Time Faculty in Applied Psychology (Flex. Path) Capella University offers two learning formats, Flex. Path and Guided. Path, designed to provide a flexible and affordable way for working professionals to earn a degree. In our Flex. Path format, you'll help learners progress through asynchronous 12-week courses with self-paced target dates, all within a rolling enrollment system that lets them finish early and advance without waiting. ### What You'll Do As a Flex. Path faculty member, you'll utilize your professional expertise to deliver high-quality instruction from a pre-designed curriculum. Your responsibilities include providing competency-based evaluations within 48 hours of assessment submissions (excluding weekends and holidays), being available by phone, email, and in the courseroom to ensure learners receive timely feedback. You'll establish high standards, clarify evaluation methods, adhere to university policies, and attend faculty meetings, workshops, or training as required. Assignments are ongoing and based on expertise and school needs. ### Qualifications We're Looking For - **Education**: A master's degree in psychology is required; a doctorate in psychology is preferred. All degrees must be from a regionally accredited institution, and you'll need to attach copies of required certificates, licenses, and unofficial transcripts for all graduate degrees. - **Experience**: At least three years of teaching experience preferred, with online teaching experience required. For graduate-level instruction, you need three years of professional experience in the discipline. At the doctoral level, experience conducting and overseeing research is required. - **Skills**: Demonstrated knowledge of academic evaluation, strong communication and oral presentation skills, planning and organizing course objectives, proficiency with academic technology, and solid computer skills. You should be able to manage potentially stressful situations professionally and ethically. ### Work Arrangement and Travel This role is fully remote, but you must have a suitable home office with reliable internet, computer, privacy, phone, and video conferencing capabilities. Occasionally, you may need to travel within the US for business needs like doctoral residencies or site visits—though for most programs travel is uncommon. Reasonable accommodations for travel limitations are available under ADA policies. ### Compensation and Benefits The expected starting pay per assignment this quarter is **$2,000 - $4,000**, with current and future assignments based on factors like enrollment and program. For Flex. Path courses, pay ranges from $125 to $4,000 (average over $3,000); for Guided. Path, $500 to $4,000 (average over $3,000). Doctoral mentoring pays approximately $400 per mentee, and reviewer assignments start at $200.
