DEPARTMENT: Physics and Astronomy POSITION TITLE: Lecturer Pool - Physics and Astronomy POSITION DETAILS: The Department of Physics and Astronomy has been preparing students for graduate school, teaching careers and industrial employment for over 65 years. We are seeking qualified part-time lecturer faculty to teach introductory algebra-based and calculus-based Physics courses and the associated labs, as well as introductory General Education courses in Physics and Astronomy. Duties of a part-time lecturer 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.

Hires from the pool of applicants are made when there are instructional needs to fill coursework offered by an academic department based on changing enrollment patterns, changes to tenure-track faculty assignments, and other factors that cannot be addressed with our existing faculty. 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. Initial rank and salary for lecturer faculty are based on professional and/or teaching experience and educational background and are determined by the hiring department.
