Position Description

The University of Washington (UW) Tacoma invites applications for a non-tenure track full-time temporary lecturer of Psychology in the Division of Social, Behavioral and Human Sciences within the School of Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences (SIAS). The length of the appointment is 9 months (September 16, 2022 - June 15, 2023) to teach 7 sections of clinical psychology courses.

The Tacoma campus of the University of Washington was founded in 1990 with an interdisciplinary approach at its foundation. It has evolved into a thriving downtown campus that serves students of a wide variety of ages and backgrounds in the South Puget Sound. Faculty have access to the resources of the University of Washington, a major research university, including an extensive library system, but work and teach within a small campus setting. Our campus provides a supportive environment for the development of creative teaching, research, and community collaborations. The campus commitment to equity and inclusion is central to maintaining an atmosphere where students, staff, and faculty find abundant opportunities for intellectual, personal, and professional growth within our campus and broader community.
