Sarah Lawrence College Department of Biology seeks part-time guest faculty members to teach courses in the fall 2025 and spring 2026 semester. We are particularly interested in candidates who can teach one or two of the following courses: neurobiology, anatomy and physiology, developmental biology, immunology, marine biology, entomology, human evolution. Other courses within the candidate’s area of expertise will be considered if proposed in the cover letter.

The exact format of the course will be determined in consultation with the successful candidate. Seminar courses are typically capped at 15 students and include a seminar class (meeting 2x/week) and biweekly meetings with individual students to develop a semester-long independent project—conference work—which usually takes the form of a substantial literature review. Lecture courses, capped at 45 students, meet 2x/week but include group rather than individual biweekly conferences.

Application materials must include: CV, cover letter indicating your background experience and your preferred courses, a description of the proposed course(s); and three letters of recommendation.
Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an Employment Visa.

Compensation for this position is on a per-course basis, contingent on teaching experience.

Candidates should have a PhD in a relevant field or be within the final year of their doctoral program with undergraduate teaching experience.

Sarah Lawrence seeks to recruit and retain a diverse administration, staff, and faculty. Every job opening is seen as an opportunity to increase diversity, and every effort will be made to expand the applicant pool in accordance with these goals.
