Limited Term Lecturer

Position Summary

The Odum School of Ecology at the University of Georgia invites applications for two full-time academic year (9-mo) Limited-Term Lecturer positions with a start date no later than August 1, 2023. The EFT for each position is a 70% instruction and 30% instructional services. Each Limited-Term Lecturer will teach two courses in the fall and spring terms (4 courses total in the academic year), in addition to participating in formal mentorship/shadowing opportunities with teaching-focused faculty. The two courses taught by each limited-term lecturer will include:

Limited-term lecturers could teach the same two courses in fall and spring (i.e. ECOL3500 and ECOL4130L in both fall and spring), but may need to expand to other courses, based on student demand.
