The University of Maryland Global Campus (UMGC) is seeking an Adjunct Faculty member to teach Artificial Intelligence courses on‑site in Stuttgart, Germany. UMGC is an open‑access, minority‑serving university that educates more than 90,000 non‑traditional learners worldwide, many of whom are active military or veterans. The role is limited to local applicants who can maintain their own legal residency status in Germany and travel reliably to the assigned classroom. The day‑to‑day work centers on delivering UMGC's pre‑designed AI curriculum to adult learners. Faculty are expected to be present in the classroom at least five days each week, introduce themselves with a welcome announcement, and lead discussions that connect theory to real‑world practice. In addition to lecturing, the instructor must provide timely feedback, post final grades, and respond to student inquiries throughout the term.
