The College of Human Development, Culture, and Media at Seton Hall University invites applications for two (2) full-time Lecturers of Counselor Education (contract faculty), with a start date of August, 2026.
Duties and Responsibilities:
This search is part of a multiyear, strategic infusion of resources into our Counselor Education graduate portfolio of programs -- currently with specialties in Professional Counseling and School Counseling. The university is also hiring an Open Rank tenured faculty department chair, and one tenure-track faculty member, in addition to these two Lecturer positions. All have an expected start date of August, 2026. As a result, we anticipate that the successful candidates for these searches – as well as the existing full-time faculty – will contribute to accreditation efforts.
The College’s existing graduate programs in Counseling and School Counseling are among the largest at the University, and are strongly enrolled in both on-campus and online modalities. Growth of these programs is therefore a key institutional priority, and accordingly the pursuit of CACREP accreditation has the support of both the Offices of the Dean and Provost. Organizationally, the Counselor Education programs are housed alongside graduate programs in School Psychology, Applied Behavior Analysis, Counseling Psychology and Psychological Studies in the Department of Professional Psychology and Family Therapy.
The successful candidates will be expected to maintain a strong presence on our South Orange, NJ residential campus while engaging in an array of high-impact activities with students that include teaching, advisement, mentoring, and academic program development.
The position entails a 12-credit teaching requirement during the Fall and Spring semesters (i.e., 4 courses per semester), commensurate with Department needs. Lecturers are initially appointed for a one-year term, which may be renewed and extended for a period of up to three years by the University; there is no limit on the number of renewals that may be sought, subject to Department and College needs. Lecturers are also eligible for promotion to the rank of Senior Lecturer.
Duties and Responsibilities
*24-credit teaching load per academic year (i.e., four classes in the Fall and Spring semesters), which will include a mix of on-campus and online asynchronous delivery, aligned with Department needs;
*Active service across the College and Department;
*Student advisement and clinical mentorship;
*Curriculum development and program assessment, review, and revision;
*A commitment to the University’s Mission.
About the College of Human Development, Culture, and Media
Launched in Summer 2023, Seton Hall’s College of Human Development, Culture, and Media (CHDCM) embodies the University’s commitment to pedagogical innovation, intellectual ferment, and community engagement. Uniting scholars and students from four dynamic departments — Communication, Media, and the Arts; Education Leadership, Management, and Policy; Educational Studies; and Professional Psychology and Family Therapy — the College is the new home of cutting-edge, transdisciplinary inquiry into the stickiest problems of our time.
The faculty, staff, and students of the College seek to improve the human condition by collaborating across distinct fields that uniquely complement one another—the arts, communication, education, leadership and mental health. Expression underpins all facets of the College’s portfolio — media as a form of education and artistic expression; teaching and learning as modes of creative expression; expression and expressibility as critical to counseling and therapeutic treatment; and self-expression as a vehicle of social agency. With enrollment at approximately 1,550 total students, both graduate and undergraduate, CHDCM is the second largest college at Seton Hall University, with approximately 70 full time faculty and 125 adjunct faculty.
