This position has a nine-month academic year appointment with potential for summer teaching assignments. The contract is renewable annually dependent on performance, need, and funding.

The School is a part of the College of Social Sciences, which offers opportunities for creative interdisciplinary teaching and research.

There will likely be occasional travel to our satellite teaching sites in Everett, WA, located on the western side of the state. All faculty are expected to actively participate in assessment of student learning and to engage in effective teaching.
