Lecturers are generally limited to two courses per term. This will be a semester-by-semester appointment, with the possibility of renewal. This pool posting is anticipated to remain active until filled or through November 30, 2023.
Assignments may fluctuate and are contingent upon the schedule of courses offered each term, the required number of student enrollments in your tentatively scheduled course(s), and budget availability.
