It's translated as "supporting faculty members" here, so that's another option (p. 27):

I think I'd actually go with "adjunct teaching staff," That sounds best to my ears, and it covers the nuance of an instructor whose position is not permanent (i.e. full-time), generally because he/she holds another position.

I knew I didn't like "part-time." :)

part-time instructors/teachers

Explanation:
My answer is based on the contrast between "permanent instructors/teachers" to "non-permanent ones", with 兼任 being "非常勤講師の正式名称は「兼任教員]" or part-time instructor [teacher] per the below websites:

Reference: 兼任

Reference information:
As others have pointed out, the term must be 兼任. 兹 is a simplified Chinese character whose equivalent in Japanese is 茲 (with 草冠). The character is virtually non-existent in modern Japanese. I'm pretty sure that 兹任 is a typo/input error (but how?) for 兼任, someone who also teaches elsewhere.
