About IUBS
What if graduate education in Applied Behavior Analysis prepared professionals not only to understand the science of behavior, but also to solve complex, real-world problems?
At the International University of Behavioral Sciences (IUBS), we are working to make that vision a reality.
IUBS is an emerging educational institution developing a different approach to graduate-level education. Our planned ABA master's program is being designed around a simple belief:
The next generation of behavior analysts needs more than theoretical knowledge. They need the competencies, critical thinking, cultural awareness, and practical experience to make a meaningful difference in the world.
Our founding team brings extensive experience in adult education, instructional design, organizational performance, and educational technology. We understand how adults learn, how skills develop, and how education can translate into measurable improvements in professional performance.
We are applying that expertise to develop a learning experience that is:
Practice-driven: Connecting behavioral science with real-world situations and professional challenges.
Project-based: Students learn through meaningful assignments, case studies, applied projects, and problem-solving.
Competency-focused: Emphasizing what future behavior analysts can demonstrate and apply, not simply what they can remember.
Globally minded: Integrating cultural awareness, ethical decision-making, and diverse contexts throughout the curriculum.
Technology-enabled: Using modern instructional technologies to support flexible, engaging, and effective learning.
Grounded in science: Building strong foundations in behavior analysis while encouraging innovation, critical evaluation, and responsible application.
We are developing a program designed to prepare behavior analysts for the changing needs of the profession and the communities they serve.
And we are looking for educators who want to help us build it.
The Opportunity
We are seeking passionate, creative, and forward-thinking BCBAs, IBAs, and QBAs from around the world to join our emerging faculty community.
This is a fully remote, part-time, contract-based opportunity, designed for professionals who want to contribute their expertise while maintaining flexibility in their professional careers.
We welcome applicants from all countries and backgrounds, with a particular interest in professionals who can teach and communicate effectively in English, Portuguese, and/or Spanish.
As a Founding Faculty Contributor, you will collaborate virtually with a team of subject-matter experts, instructional designers, educators, and technologists to develop and deliver engaging learning experiences.
Depending on your qualifications and assigned responsibilities, your work may include:
Responsibilities
Create engaging educational content: Record instructional sessions, develop demonstrations, and contribute applied examples that make complex behavioral concepts accessible and relevant.
Facilitate learning experiences: Deliver live virtual classes, discussions, workshops, and interactive problem-solving sessions.
Guide applied projects: Support students as they work through realistic cases, develop interventions, evaluate evidence, and propose practical solutions.
Assess competencies: Review assignments and student projects, provide meaningful feedback, and help learners strengthen their clinical reasoning and professional skills.
Collaborate on curriculum innovation: Partner with our instructional design and technology teams to build effective, accessible, and engaging learning experiences.
Promote culturally responsive practice: Help students consider how behavioral principles and professional responsibilities apply across cultures, communities, and service systems.
Contribute to continuous improvement: Use learner feedback, performance evidence, and emerging research to refine educational experiences.
