Lecturer Part-Time Temporary, Biological Sciences – recruitment pool

Description

The Biological Sciences Division 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 Division 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. 

The cumulative instructional need currently for the 2025-26 Academic Year is as follows:

• B BIO 370: Microbiology, lecture and labs  
• B BIO 310: Brain and Behavior 
• B BIO 375: Molecular Biology 
• BST 301: Scientific Writing 
• B EARTH 154: Introduction to Oceanography

Occasionally, unanticipated changes occur, which would require us to fill courses that are not on this list. Courses that are offered in 2025-2026 are listed below. Candidates are welcome to indicate interest in any of these courses as well:

The division of Biological Sciences is a vibrant and growing community comprised of twelve full-time faculty. Our biology major was established in 2010 and graduates approximately 200 undergraduate students each year. All of our undergraduates participate in research, either within a faculty members research program, through an internship, or in a research course. The Biological Sciences faculty have recently moved into a brand new building, Innovation Hall, including state of the art labs, and facilities for plants and cell culture. We do not have vertebrate animal facilities on campus, but welcome research programs working with invertebrate, or cell systems. The campus also has a greenhouse, a 52-acre re
