About The Position

While there may not be an immediate need for a lecturer in every area, UW-Stevens Point (UWSP) accepts applications regardless, in order to create a pool for when there may be a need. Upon successful submission of your application, you will be considered for future part-time or full-time lecturer opportunities, and your application will be on file as a potential candidate who could possibly fill a position if or when the need arises. Lecturers are hired on a per-course basis each semester, and teaching one semester does not guarantee being assigned the following semester. The teaching hours for a lecturer will vary with a teaching load ranging between 1-12 credits per semester. The Department of Biology is part of the School of Biology, Chemistry, and Biochemistry in the College of Letters and Sciences. The department is primarily housed in the Haeni Chemistry Biology Building and the Trainer Natural Resources Building on the UWSP main campus but also includes facilities on the Wausau and Marshfield campuses. The department includes 20 full-time faculty representing a wide range of subdisciplines. Their primary mission is teaching to, and performing research with, undergraduate students.
