One Academy. A statewide mission. Campus & Regional Instructor Opportunities.

The Mississippi State Fire Academy is accepting applications for its upcoming Staff Instructor Assessment, bringing together our established campus instructor opportunities and a regional approach designed to strengthen our presence across the state.

Regional Staff Instructors would extend the Academy’s reach in North and South Mississippi by coordinating targeted training based on identified needs, working with host departments and adjunct instructors, coordinating major programs, and conducting authorized field testing.

This regional model is intended to complement not replace campus-based training and department field deliveries, while aligning training resources with needs identified through campus demand.

One assessment will be used for all applicants. Qualifications differ by assignment; see the attached announcement for required certifications, regional service areas, residency requirements, and salary information.

Application deadline: December 7, 2026
Assessment dates: December 15–16, 2026

For application instructions, contact Cindy Stevenson, HR Director, at cstevenson@msfa.ms.gov.

Regional appointments and implementation depend on Academy needs and the availability of suitable candidates.
