Temporary Faculty and Lecturers

Each semester, the Engineering Education Program may seek lecturers to teach a variety of courses in the area of engineering education. Lecturers generally teach a particular course or courses for which they are qualified and have graduate degrees and/or advanced experience in their engineering field of expertise (e.g., civil, biomedical, mechanical, etc.). Teaching roles are filled on an as-needed basis, semester to semester.

The title of lecturer is given to individuals who teach on a course-by-course basis.

Minimum requirements include:

  • A terminal degree (PhD or the equivalent) in a field of study related to engineering
  • Extensive expertise in an applicable field

Preferred qualifications include:

  • Experience teaching graduate-level courses
  • Scholarly publications in engineering education or a related field
  • Expertise in conducting education research

Compensation ranges from $4,160 - $12,480 per course depending on the teaching assignment, instructor qualifications, and the semester in which the course is taught.

Examples of courses that lecturers have taught in our program include:

  • ENED 6999: Graduate Seminar in Engineering Education

Lecturer positions are not permanent employees and are hired on a semester-by-semester basis. This position is eligible for employee sick leave earned monthly on a prorated basis. For more information on other faculty positions, please visit .

As the Engineering Education Program evolves, we expect more courses suitable for lecturers to be offered. Interested applicants may contact the interim director and affiliate faculty, David Webb, at dcwebb@colorado.edu for more information on available positions.
