Adjunct Faculty of Neuroscience

Adjunct Faculty – Neuroscience

Western New England University | College of Arts and Sciences

The College of Arts and Sciences at Western New England University seeks applications for adjunct faculty in Neuroscience beginning in Spring 2027. We are looking for engaging and effective instructors to provide high-quality undergraduate instruction in the University's interdisciplinary Neuroscience program.

Immediate Spring 2027 teaching needs include:

•Sensation and Perception

•Cognitive Neuroscience

•Neurodevelopment

•Upper-level Neuroscience electives or special topics

We are also interested in developing an adjunct pool of candidates with expertise to teach other courses within the Neuroscience curriculum, including Introduction to Behavioral Neuroscience, Research Methods in Neuroscience, Neurobiology, Genetic and Molecular Neuroscience, Neuropharmacology/Neurobiology of Addiction, and other advanced topics in behavioral, cognitive, cellular, molecular, developmental, or applied neuroscience.

Candidates may be considered for one or more courses based on their expertise, availability, and program needs. Experience with undergraduate research, laboratory instruction, or mentoring is welcomed but is not required for all assignments.

To apply, please submit a current CV or resume, identify the courses or areas of Neuroscience you are qualified to teach and your Spring availability, and provide contact information for three professional references who can comment on your ability to teach undergraduate students.

Candidates should submit materials as soon as possible. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until Spring 2027 teaching needs are filled, and qualified applicants may also be considered for future Neuroscience adjunct opportunities.

Qualifications

Applicants should have at least a Master's degree in Neuroscience, Psychology, Biology, Biomedical Science, Pharmacology, or a closely related field. A Ph.D. or other appropriate terminal degree is preferred for upper-level courses. Previous college-level teaching experience is preferred.
