Agreement with the Wentworth Faculty Federation.

Wentworth uses a three-semester per year schedule. The faculty
contracts are for two semesters (fall and spring) with optional
summer teaching which is paid on a prorated basis of the provided

1.5 times the provided two-semester salary depending on
availability of summer classes.

Please be aware that any final offer for this position is
contingent on the applicant providing valid I-9 documentation,
showing work authorization and identity. For those requiring H-1B
