The History Department in the College of Humanities and Fine Arts is collecting application materials for a pool of lecturers with positions available as determined by need during the 2026-27 academic year. Appointments from the lecturer pool are temporary and often made just prior to the start of the academic term.

The minimum education requirement for a lecturer appointment is a Master of Arts (M.A.) in History.

Prior college teaching experience preferred.

Lecturers will teach one or more sections of courses for which the department’s Personnel Committee deems them qualified. The courses assigned are based on qualifications of the individual and the needs of the department.

Applicants must provide a current cover letter (including how they have addressed or plan to address teaching to diverse student groups), a CV, a list of courses they believe they are qualified to teach, and contact information for three professional references. Additional information may be requested at a later time. All applicants must apply online; applications submitted via email or in‑person to the department will not be considered.

For information about specific courses offered, please refer to the University Catalog.
