CPT Adjunct Professor Jobs
Adjunct Professor roles can qualify for CPT when the teaching or research work is directly tied to your degree program and your DSO authorizes it before your start date. Many institutions hire adjuncts on a per-semester basis, so CPT authorization must align with each contract period. Part-time CPT is the most common arrangement, preserving your full-time student status.

St. Mary's College of Maryland is accepting applications for the tenure track position of Assistant Professor and Internship Coordinator in its newly approved Masters of Arts in Counseling and Clinical Psychology (MACCP) program, beginning August 2027. The MACCP program is the second Masters program at SMCM (following the successful Master of Teaching program). The salary range for this position is $75,000 to $79,000 based on level of experience; startup costs are negotiable; benefits information is available online.
ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES
The standard teaching load is 12 credits (usually, the equivalent of 3 courses) per semester. The Internship Coordinator will be in charge of preparing for internship placements (which is built into the teaching load). Teaching responsibilities will include courses in the Master of Arts in Counseling and Clinical Psychology program (e.g., Psychopathology and Diagnosis, Multicultural Counseling, Lifespan Development, Group Counseling, Psychological Testing, Family Systems in Practice), as well as the possibility of undergraduate courses in your area of specialization to provide cross-program collaboration with the Psychology major.
At SMCM, we seek faculty whose pedagogical practice involves culturally responsive teaching practices that promote belonging and inclusion. New faculty are paired with mentors to support your growth as a teacher-scholar. In addition, we offer start-up funding to support your research, especially encouraging projects that relate to the training of psychotherapy practitioners. Over time, professors take on roles in services to the program and College to support the College's mission; first-year faculty are exempt from college-wide committee work.
Non-sectarian since its founding, St. Mary’s College of Maryland, a public Carnegie Baccalaureate, Arts and Sciences institution located in St. Mary's City, 70 miles southeast of Washington, D.C., has been designated a national public honors college. With selective admissions policies, academically talented students, and a rigorous curriculum, we offer a small college experience similar to that found at exceptional private colleges. St. Mary’s faculty benefit from a comprehensive program of support for scholarship, research, travel, and curriculum development, including course releases for pretenure faculty and leaves for tenured faculty. The quality of life is enhanced by the recreational opportunities of the Chesapeake region and by our proximity to Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.
BASIC QUALIFICATIONS
- Ph.D. in Counseling or Clinical Psychology or related field (ABD acceptable at the time of application)
Employment will be contingent upon successful completion of a criminal background check.
PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS
St. Mary’s College embodies diversity and inclusion in its mission. We create an environment that recognizes the value of individual and group differences and we encourage inquiries from applicants who will contribute to our cultural and ethnic diversity.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
Application materials should include a cover letter (which should speak to ways in which the candidate's teaching will contribute to the training of Masters students in counseling and clinical psychology), curriculum vitae (including email address), statement of teaching philosophy, statement of research interests, and evidence of teaching effectiveness if available (e.g., teaching evaluations, observation notes). We request three professional references (rather than letters of recommendation) at the time of application. Of these three references, at least one referee should speak to the candidate's disciplinary expertise, and at least one should have seen the candidate deliver or design classroom instruction. References will be contacted only for candidates who advance to finalist interviews. Applications are being accepted online, with reviews starting September 1, 2026 and continuing until the position is filled.
Questions may be directed to Dr. Libby Nutt Williams at enwilliams@smcm.edu.

Get Access To All JobsAdjunct Professor CPT: Frequently Asked Questions
Does adjunct professor work qualify for CPT authorization?
Yes, if the role is an integral part of your curriculum and your DSO approves it before you start. The teaching or research duties must fall within your enrolled field of study. A graduate student in education or a STEM discipline teaching relevant coursework is a strong candidate. Your academic advisor typically needs to confirm the curricular connection in writing before the DSO can update your I-20.
Can I work as an adjunct professor part-time on CPT while staying enrolled full-time?
Yes, part-time CPT is designed for exactly this scenario. Working 20 hours or fewer per week preserves your full-time student status and keeps your OPT eligibility intact. Most F-1 students pursuing adjunct roles choose part-time CPT for this reason. Accumulating 12 or more months of full-time CPT is what eliminates OPT eligibility, so staying part-time is the standard approach.
How do I find colleges and universities open to hiring F-1 students on CPT?
Migrate Mate lets you search Adjunct Professor roles and see which institutions have a track record of hiring international students. Institutions that run active SEVIS programs and regularly employ graduate teaching assistants are generally the most familiar with CPT documentation requirements. Targeting those employers reduces the risk of an offer falling through at the HR stage.
Do I need a new CPT authorization for each semester I teach as an adjunct?
Yes. CPT authorization is tied to a specific employer, location, and date range on your I-20. Because adjunct contracts are issued per term, each new semester requires a fresh DSO authorization request before the contract period begins. Submit your request at least two weeks before your intended start date and confirm the authorized dates cover the full semester, including grading periods.
What documentation does a college's HR department typically need to hire me on CPT?
HR will need your valid passport, your current I-20 showing the CPT authorization for that specific role and date range, and your visa stamp. Some institutions also request your I-94 arrival record to confirm your status is current. Unlike OPT, there's no EAD card for CPT since the authorization lives on your I-20. Confirm with HR in advance that they accept I-20-based CPT rather than requiring an EAD.
