The Department of Biology (www.baylor.edu/biology) in the College of Arts & Sciences (www.baylor.edu/artsandsciences) seeks applications for a full-time Lecturer faculty position starting in August 2026. We welcome candidates from all fields of biology, as our curriculum provides a variety of teaching opportunities, from foundational courses like Modern Concepts in Bioscience to advanced topics such as evolution. Faculty members may also contribute to courses spanning ecology and molecular and organismal biology, allowing flexibility to align teaching responsibilities with individual expertise and interests.

Lecturers are expected to design and implement educational strategies that emphasize student-centered learning activities, facilitating transformative learning experiences within their courses. Experience or interest in innovative curricula for lab courses that foster a culture of discovery will be viewed as a strength. The department actively supports and promotes an undergraduate Learning Assistant program to enhance active learning in the classroom.

This position is an academic year appointment. Teaching opportunities may be available during the summer, depending on student demand. The appointment is a renewable, full-time, benefits-eligible, teaching-focused position with a promotion pathway to Senior Lecturer and Teaching Professor (see: Policy on Full-Time Lecturers, Senior Lecturers, and Teaching Professors at Baylor University).
