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. While the announcement lists this position as on-site, partially remote and remote opportunities may be available.

The Department also houses robust minors in Criminal Justice and Substance Use and Addiction Studies. With a commitment to social justice and applied learning, the Department values quality teaching/learning experiences, and emphasizes undergraduate research, community-based practicums, and service to the region.
