Position Overview
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology at West Virginia University is seeking applications for part-time Lecturer roles to instruct in various semesters.

Applications will be reviewed continuously as positions become available. Compensation is determined on a per-course basis.

While these roles typically do not offer benefits, certain positions may qualify for benefits based on course load, which may fluctuate according to departmental requirements.


Interested candidates should submit (a) a cover letter detailing their teaching qualifications, (b) a curriculum vitae, and (c) contact information for two references who can provide letters of recommendation.
