The CU Denver Business School seeks individuals with demonstrated commitment to creating an inclusive learning and working environment.

The CU Denver Business School seeks to establish and maintain a pool of Lecturers for Executive Programs from which future appointments to temporary, non-tenure-track positions will be made. Appointments will be part-time (less than 50% FTE) and will be made semester-by-semester, as teaching needs arise.

Classes taught will be at the graduate-level and will generally be limited to three credit hours. Lecturers teaching these classes will instruct in either one or multiple teaching modalities (in-person, online-remote, or hybrid).

Minimum Qualifications:

• Master's or terminal degree in a business or subject-related field.
• Recent significant professional, technical, or managerial experience in the discipline related to the teaching assignment; at a minimum, significant experience is interpreted as at least eight years of duties and responsibilities.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Prior experience working in the capacity of a consultant, preferably with an ongoing position that is client facing.
• Prior experience teaching or guest lecturing in a graduate program on the topic of business.
• Previous experience collaborating with MBA-level projects, either as a facilitator, participant, or client.

Knowledge, Skills, & Abilities:

• An ability to effectively plan, establish and implement teaching goals and objectives independently without guidance and direction from other faculty.
• Ability to establish and maintain effective working relationships with employees at all levels throughout the institution.
