Position Details

Position Description

The Engineering & Mathematics Department of the School of Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) at the University of Washington Bothell (UWB) invites applications from qualified candidates for short-term, temporary instructional positions that may be needed at various points throughout the 2025-26 academic year (Sept 16-Jun 15). The successful candidate(s) would be appointed as Lecturer Part-Time Temporary, a non-tenure track, non-voting eligible faculty title.

Successful candidates will have a demonstrated commitment to innovative and effective pedagogy, have expertise in working with diverse student populations, and are open to collaborating with colleagues.

The successful candidate(s) will have an FTE commensurate with the assigned workload. For context, one 5-credit course is equivalent to 33.33% FTE and one lab is 16.67% FTE. The full-time (100%) base salary is $6,000 per month, commensurate with experience and qualifications, or as mandated by a U.S. Department of Labor prevailing wage determination. This full-time monthly rate is then prorated based on assigned FTE for the duration of the 3-month quarter.

Appointments are made on a quarterly (3-month) basis that are renewable on a quarterly basis, and are contingent upon instructional needs, part time faculty reappointment guidelines, and Department approval. Appointment service dates align with the annual academic calendar. Autumn: September 16-December 15; Winter: December 16-March 15; and Spring: March 16-June 15.
