The Department of Sociology & Anthropology at Ohio Wesleyan University is looking for one or more part-time instructors to teach 1 or 2 sections of Introduction to Sociology in the fall 2026 semester. The ideal candidate will have a Ph.D. in Sociology or a related field. Doctoral candidates will also be considered. Experience teaching Sociology courses at the undergraduate level is expected. The courses are offered at the following times:
