Adjunct Project Faculty for Seminary Doctoral Programs Project Portfolio Course Sequence

George Fox University announces a three-year Project Faculty position, starting in August. It is a part-time adjunct position for the Seminary Doctoral Programs (DMin, DLd), subject to annual review. The Project Faculty (PF) provides students guidance as they complete their Project Portfolio research project over three years. The Department assigns each PF to a small Peer Group of 3-4 advisees.
