About The Position

The Jake Jabs Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of Colorado Denver Business School is establishing a pool of Lecturers in Entrepreneurship and Innovation for future temporary, non-tenure-track appointments. Positions are part-time, less than 50% FTE, and appointments are made semester by semester as teaching needs arise. The pool is anticipated to remain active through January 2027; this posting does not necessarily represent a currently open position.

Lecturers teach entrepreneurship classes at the undergraduate or graduate level, generally limited to three credit hours. Teaching may take place in person, online-remote, or in a hybrid format. Responsibilities include delivering instruction tailored to students with a variety of language and cultural backgrounds in line with curricular objectives and outcomes; preparing balanced, rigorous lesson plans; assessing student progress; and following program policies, including reporting student offenses such as plagiarism, cheating, and absences.

The position follows a hybrid work structure, with remote or office work depending on task demands or personal work preferences. Working from the office is encouraged for tasks requiring substantial collaboration. Occasional evening or weekend work may be required. The position is not eligible for visa sponsorship, benefits, or overtime compensation. Compensation is a minimum of $6,000 per three-credit course and may increase based on enrollment at the census date.
