The Department of Biological Sciences at Wellesley College invites applications for a Visiting Lecturer for the academic year 2024-25, with the possibility of renewal in 2025-26. We anticipate hiring three faculty members who can contribute to our introductory curriculum (lectures, seminars, and labs in cellular/molecular and organismal biology), as well as upper-level courses in vertebrate physiology, vertebrate anatomy, or ecology, depending on expertise. All positions are benefits eligible and range from a 90% full-time appointment (equivalent to four courses and one lab per year) to a 100% full-time appointment plus an overload stipend (equivalent to five courses and one lab per year). Ideal candidates will have completed their PhD before September 1, 2024, and can demonstrate successful experience teaching biology to undergraduates. This position is in a collective bargaining unit represented by Wellesley Organized Academic Workers – UAW (WOAW-UAW).

Applicants should send a letter of application, a curriculum vitae, evidence of teaching effectiveness (e.g., sample syllabi), transcripts, and three letters of recommendation. Application materials should be submitted through Wellesley’s online application system at https://www.wellesley.edu/hr/jobseekers .  If circumstances make it impossible to submit materials online, please email [email protected]. The online application system will request names and email addresses so that recommenders or dossier services may submit the letters directly. Applications will be accepted until the positions are filled. Initial interviews will be conducted via Zoom.

Wellesley College is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer, and we are committed to increasing the diversity of the college community and the curriculum. Candidates who believe they can contribute to that goal are encouraged to apply. Questions may be directed to Heather Mattila, Chair, Department of Biological Sciences, at [email protected].

Wellesley is known for the excellence of its education, the beauty of its setting, its gifted faculty, and the uniqueness of its campus culture. But most of all, Wellesley is known for the thousands of accomplished, thoughtful women it has sent out into the world for over 100 years women who are committed to making a difference. Every year, some 2,400 of the world’s top undergraduate women are challenged to exceed their own highest personal and intellectual expectations. The mastery Wellesley graduates demonstrate across the professional and vocational spectrum, and the influence they wield, whether in their own communities or on the world stage is testament to a singularly empowering undergraduate experience. Wellesley’s lively academic community places a high value on rigorous, probing inquiry, and creative, cross-discipline thinking. Its collaborative approach to scholarship encourages students to question, debate, and refine their points of view, not only with each other, but with our world-class faculty, often by working directly with them on groundbreaking projects. A Wellesley education fosters the highest standard of readiness for the real world in its graduates, in terms… of ability to think, act, and contribute meaningfully and effectively in their chosen areas of interest.
