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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.
