Lecturer Part-Time Temporary, Biological Sciences – Recruitment Pool

The Biological Sciences Department 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 Department 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:

The department 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 restored wetland, and a new environmental education center ards State Park (EERC), all of which contribute to our mission of high quality undergraduate education and research. We believe students learn biology best by engaging in the scientific process, and we are committed to teaching practices that foster learning in students from a variety of backgrounds, including students from backgrounds traditionally underrepresented in science.

The School of STEM is the largest school at UW Bothell, and we are a school committed to attracting diverse faculty and staff who create an exceptional student experience in support of our core values of Collaboration, Opportunities, Responsibility, and Engagement. Our faculty members are dynamic educators who engage in innovative, evidence-based pedagogies. Nearly every School of STEM faculty member engages undergraduate and master's students as research collaborators, and we pride ourselves on our community engaged teaching and research to realize our vision to be an indispensable partner in the region.

We offer twenty-three undergraduate and graduate degrees and eight minors across…
