The School of Nursing & Health Studies at the University of Washington Bothell (UWB) seeks to fill multiple positions for Lecturer Part-Time 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 up to two candidates to join our faculty on a part-time basis (50% - 100%) for a 9-month service period with opportunities to teach during the summer.

The faculty hire in this position has an expectation of teaching at least 5 courses over the three quarters (at least one every quarter) of the regular academic year with teaching assignments focused in the nursing program (RN-BSN and MN), with possible needs in Health Studies as well. Critical topics for these courses include, but are not limited 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.

This position will be benefits-eligible.
The successful candidates will be dynamic scholars and educators, whose work bridges theory and practice of health care and systems, including nursing and public health.
