Part-Time Lecturer Pool - English (AY 26/27)
About the Role
Appointments from the part-time pool are temporary and often made just prior to the start of the academic term, so applicants must be available on very short notice. Positions are available as determined by need and funding during Fall and/or Spring semesters of the 2026–2027 academic year, which begins August 17, 2026. Teaching assignments are contingent upon budget and enrollments.
Assignments may include teaching first-year composition and may also include teaching advanced composition (including classes for multilingual learners), technical and professional writing, linguistics, creative writing, and some General Education literature classes.
