Title: Lecturer Part-Time Temporary, Nursing and Health Studies
Position
The School of Nursing & Health Studies at the University of Washington Bothell (UWB) seeks to fill ongoing openings for Lecturer Part-Time Temporary faculty. A commitment to excellence in teaching at the undergraduate level is essential, as is a commitment to support and enhance learning for diverse populations. We are seeking candidates to join our pool of part-time faculty with FTE typically ranging from 33.4% to 66.8% for a 3-month service period (equivalent to 1 to 2 courses per quarter). These are part-time positions and have quarterly (3-month) service periods that begin on September 16, December 16, and/or March 16. Quarterly appointments may vary based on instructional need within the school. Positions in this title are non-tenure track and not promotion eligible. Recurring quarterly appointments at 50% or greater that result in academic year-long employment will be limited to a total of 3 consecutive academic years.
We encourage applicants whose interests align with our commitment to fostering diversity and inclusivity to apply. We are particularly interested in applicants who can teach courses related to social justice and health, program planning, community health nursing, critical evaluation of nursing literature and application to evidence-based practice, nursing pedagogy, and epidemiology. Some courses require the candidate to be currently licensed or eligible for licensure as a registered nurse in Washington.
The monthly base full time salary is $7500 for masters prepared, and $8000 for PhD prepared. Compensation is calculated per course, for example one course is worth 33.4% FTE and will be paid in full at $7500 for masters prepared, and $8000 for PhD prepared for the quarter.
The successful candidates will be dynamic scholars and educators, whose work bridges theory and practice of healthcare and systems, including nursing and public health. The successful candidates will use lecture modalities and active learning teaching techniques, or will have the willingness to learn alternative teaching modalities that ensure the best results. The successful candidates will enjoy working independently yet are interested in sharing ideas collaboratively. The ideal candidate will have previous college-level teaching and relevant clinical experience, including course delivery using hybrid modalities. Doctoral (eg, PhD, DNP, DrPH) degrees are desirable, though may be substituted by appropriate pedagogical and work experience.
