Who we are:

The University of New Haven, founded on the Yale campus in 1920, is a private, coeducational university that has been recognized by The Princeton Review and U.S. News & World Report for academic excellence. Located between New York City and Boston in the shoreline city of West Haven, the University is a diverse and vibrant community of nearly 10,000 students from across the globe.

More than 100 academic programs are offered, all grounded in a long-standing commitment to collaborative, interdisciplinary, project-based learning

Adjunct instructors are hired locally or regionally to teach specific courses in which they have particular expertise. They normally teach no more than half of the full-time load.

You need:

A minimum of a masters degree in Biology or related field is required, Ph.D. preferred. The ideal candidate will have some teaching experience at the college level and a commitment to student-centered teaching is required. Preference will be given to those with a record of teaching excellence at the university level. Familiarity with online teaching is a plus, but these courses will require an on-campus component from the successful applicant.
