While there may not be an immediate need for a lecturer in every area, UW-Stevens Point accepts applications to create a pool for future part‑time or full‑time lecturer opportunities.

• Develop instructional design and curriculum relevant to a course of instruction.
• Serve as an initial point of contact for students related to specific course content and expectations.

It is primarily housed in the Haeni Chemistry Biology Building and the Trainer Natural Resources Building on the UWSP main campus, with facilities on Wausau and Marshfield campuses. The department includes 20 full‑time faculty and focuses on teaching and research with undergraduate students.
