WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY IN ST. LOUIS, Department of Education – Lecturer in Education. The Department of Education at Washington University in St. Louis invites applications for a teaching track faculty appointment in Education at the rank of Lecturer to begin in the Fall semester of 2023. A terminal degree in Education (PhD or EdD) is required. This position is a full-time appointment which includes the equivalent of 9-12 credit hours of teaching per semester with the possibility of administrative duties associated with the Department of Education. The initial duration of the appointment is one year, but the Department of Education is hoping to find a lecturer who will become part of our community for an extended period. Teaching track faculty are central to the mission of the Department and an important part of our community. The Department and broader University have dedicated resources to support their professional development.
Successful candidates will have well-defined teaching interests that align with our interdisciplinary undergraduate and master’s programs in teacher education (https://education.wustl.edu). In particular, we are looking for someone with a strong background in K-12 literacy who can teach the following courses for teacher certification: 1) elementary (e.g., Teaching Reading in the Elementary School; Language, Learning, and Instruction; and Diagnosis and Correction of Reading Disabilities) and 2) secondary (e.g., Instructional Interventions in Reading for Adolescents and English Language Learners; Reading in the Content Areas; and Teaching Writing in School Contexts). Ideal candidates would also possess strong experiences in K-12 educational settings applicable to supporting our teacher candidates in field and clinical experiences in local public-school classrooms.

Applicants should submit the following:
1) cover letter addressing the position and our departmental theme
2) curriculum vitae including current personal contact information (e-mail, phone, etc.) 3) statement of teaching philosophy and methodology (1-2 pages, single-spaced)
