Lecturing Vacancies
Although many colleges and universities are eliminating positions, some institutions are hiring, choosing to fill vacant full time slots with adjuncts that cost less. The competition for these positions, however, is fierce. Even more competitive are full time vacancies at community colleges or junior colleges that are almost always filled by adjunct instructors.
In many cases, these colleges advertise full time vacancies because they are mandated to do so, but have the intention of filling the position with an adjunct that may be well know in the department and has demonstrated a high level of competency.
