This posting establishes a pool of candidates to fill temporary, non-tenure-track lecturer positions in Architecture. This posting does not necessarily reflect a current, open position. Appointments will be part-time (less than 50%) and will be made semester-by-semester, as teaching needs arise.

If applying to a non-studio course the applicant must possess and be able to demonstrate expertise in the area of focus.
