The College Core at New York University invites applications for visiting lecturer appointments, with the rank of Lecturer, to begin September 1, 2027, pending administrative and budgetary approval. We are seeking recent NYU doctoral alumni with strong records of teaching; and candidacy for these positions is limited to NYU graduates within three years of their degree award. These are full-time, non-tenure track, one-year appointments in either the Foundations of Scientific Inquiry or Foundations of Contemporary Culture components of the Core. On good performance and in view of the teaching needs of the College, the positions are potentially renewable for an additional two years: NOTE, however, that incumbents are limited to a total of three years in this rank combined across all schools of the University. The primary instructional responsibilities are leading three sections of Complexities seminars per term, or the equivalent, and other duties to be assigned; and a one-course relief is granted in recognition of these other activities. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until positions are filled, but for best consideration applications should be made prior to November 1, 2026.
In compliance with NYC's Pay Transparency Act, the annual salary for this position is $60,000. New York University considers factors such as (but not limited to) the scope and responsibilities of the position, the candidate’s work experience, education/training, key skills, internal peer equity, as well as market and organizational considerations when extending an offer.
Successful applicants will have demonstrated effectiveness as college-level teachers, and will have completed their dissertation defense by August 1, 2027. Individuals selected for this position will not be allowed to engage in employment outside of the College Core Curriculum.
