Initial appointments are typically for one semester, but occasionally academic year initial appointments are made. Appointments may be renewed based on department needs, funding, and performance.

Often appointments are made just prior to the start of the semester, so some faculty lecturers may need to be available on very short notice.

Preferred Qualifications :

Preference will be given to those with experience in working with diverse populations and fostering a collaborative, supportive, and inclusive environment.

Preference will also be given to those with relevant work experience and training.

Duties :

Duties of part-time faculty lecturers include instruction, class preparation, grading, and office hours. Other duties may be assigned based on departmental needs.

Course assignments, including dates, time, and modality, are made by the Department Chair under the direction of the College Dean.

Faculty will teach the College of Natural and Social Sciences Introduction to Higher Education (NSS 1010) courses.

The successful candidate will be committed to the academic success of all students and to an environment that acknowledges, encourages, and celebrates diversity and differences.

To this end, the successful candidate will work effectively, respectfully, and collaboratively in diverse, multicultural, and inclusive settings.

Application :

Deadline : For full consideration, complete applications must be submitted by April 15, 2024. Applications received after the deadline may be considered.
