Position Overview: 

The Department of Family Social Science occasionally needs teaching specialists or lecturers to teach courses that cannot be staffed by regular faculty. These may include online, day and evening, undergraduate and graduate courses. Positions are typically for one semester (4 months) but may be for the full academic year (9 months). Position title and salary vary according to qualifications of candidate and available funding.

Applications are reviewed as openings occur, and individual applicants are invited to interview when their skills or areas of expertise match an opening.
