Lecturer Part-Time; multi Physics

Lecturer Part-Time (multi-year), Physics

The Physical Sciences Department of the School of Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) at the University of Washington Bothell (UWB) invites applications from qualified candidates for a Lecturer Part Time (multi-year) appointment in Physics. We are seeking a candidate to join our faculty on a part-time basis with a base load of 50%, with potential for up to 88.89% depending on curricular need, for a 9-month service period with opportunities to teach during the summer.

The position has an expectation of teaching between five courses (with the potential to increase up to eight courses depending on need) in the three quarters of the regular academic year. Positions in this title are non-tenure track, non-voting, and not promotion eligible. Appointments in these positions may be for multiple years (1-5 years), with an initial appointment of one year.

Reappointments are contingent upon instructional needs, performance, and funding. The anticipated start date is Autumn Quarter, September 16, 2026.

The primary duties of a Lecturer Part-Time are instructional. Potential course assignments include introductory and upper-level core physics courses.

The successful candidate 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 in one. The full-time (100%) base salary is $7,200-7,716 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 9-month academic year.

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. We offer twenty-three undergraduate and graduate degrees and eight minors across four Departments (Biological Sciences, Computing and Software Systems, Engineering & Mathematics, Physical Sciences).

The School is housed in several buildings on a vibrant campus collocated on a restored 100-acre wetland with an active salmon stream, including the 74,000 square-foot Discovery Hall teaching and laboratory facility, and our new 80,000 square-foot STEM building, Innovation Hall – the first shared academic building between a community college and university in the country.

Located in the heart of the Puget Sound region, the University of Washington Bothell is one of the most dynamic public universities in the state of Washington. UW Bothell is a student-centered campus known for engaging students through classes, team projects, and research in which students connect what they learn or create in the classroom with the broader community.
