Our friends in the Religion Department (Church History and Doctrine) at BYU are hiring adjunct faculty to teach a Doctrine and Covenants course this SUMMER term.
Adjunct Faculty–Church History & Doctrine Summer 2015 A http://yjobs.byu.edu/postings/5862
Adjunct Faculty–Church History & Doctrine Summer 2015 B http://yjobs.byu.edu/postings/5864
Because of our ongoing development of new curriculum, you will note that we only have two openings, both of which we anticipate will be in teaching the Doctrine and Covenants. Additionally, you will find that the two openings are identical. This is because the university’s hiring process only allows us to hire one person for each posting. Therefore, if you choose to apply, we advise you to apply to both so that you can be considered for both.
Feel free to contact me or any member of the Search Committee (Richard Holzapfel, Ken Alford, Michael Goodman, and J. B. Haws) with questions.
Sincerely,
Scott Esplin
Associate Department Chair

This is unusual. First, when the department some years back said, “no more test driving graduate students with summer teaching.” And second, when they *were* doing it, there was no open call.

Ben: they’ve done this every year for about 5 years.

Ah. I wonder if the two halves of the department are handling things differently, if I’ve simply quit paying attention, or if I’m just getting old.
