Tenured / Tenure-Track Faculty

The School of Nursing at Pepperdine University seeks candidates for a tenure-track faculty appointment at the rank of assistant or associate professor for its developing Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and Entry Level Master's Degree in Nursing (ELM) programs. Successful candidates should have an earned terminal degree (academic or clinical doctorate), and commitment to student success. Preferred qualifications include successful experience teaching undergraduate and graduate nursing students. As a new program, we seek faculty in one or more of the following specialty areas: pathopharmacology, adult medical/surgical, pediatrics, gerontology,  obstetrics, behavioral/mental health, community/population nursing, and clinical foundations/reasoning. Clinical expertise in one of the specialty areas and/or simulation is preferred. Candidates must hold or be eligible to obtain a clear and active license to practice as a Registered Nurse in California.

The BSN and ELM programs plan to enroll their first cohort of students in Fall 2025 (pending WSCUC and BRN approval). Review of candidates will begin immediately and continue on a rolling basis until all positions are filled. Regular full-time employment start date will be August 1, 2025. Pending availability and need, select faculty may be provided the opportunity to begin in June or July, 2025 to ensure program readiness in August. Both programs are offered on Pepperdine's Malibu and Calabasas campuses and all faculty appointments are in-person.

The salary for a full-time 12-month appointment will range from $100,000 to $190,000 and reflects what Pepperdine reasonably expects to pay for this faculty appointment. Actual salary may vary based on the qualifications and experience of the applicant, as well as market conditions. In addition to salary, Pepperdine offers a robust suite of employee benefits.
