Departments and Programs in Arts and Humanities, Natural Sciences and Social Sciences

  • Each semester, Unit determines temporary faculty appointees according to teaching needs and ensures employment eligibility (i.e., Lecturers may teach up to four courses, or the equivalent (up to 12 credit hours total), each semester, including courses taught on all CU campuses and through Continuing Education).
    • Typically, lecturer appointments are not posted and recruited for on CU Careers, but rather sourced at the department/program level. However, if there is a need to do so, the unit should submit a College of Arts and Sciences Faculty Advertisement Template to the Faculty Affairs Manager for review and approval. Once posted, the Unit will receive a quick link to the posting.
