New York University Washington, DC - Part-time Faculty (American politics)
New York University is seeking a local part-time faculty member to teach an elective course in American Politics (e.g., campaign strategy, elections, institutions, etc.) at our  study away center in Washington, DC for spring 2016.



Our courses  for upperclassmen (like this one) meet once per week for 3 hours, and our semesters include 14 instructional sessions per course, plus a 15th session during "final exam week" for any final test or paper. Class sessions may be scheduled in the morning, afternoon or evening on each weekday except Fridays. Class sizes are usually 10–20 students. The complete  Spring 2016 NYU DC calendar is online.

The salary will be based on equivalent and appropriate part-time faculty rates for the course. The lecturing role includes all preparation, delivery and grading. Some administrative assistance is available to support the preparation of course materials. Courses are to be intellectually challenging in content, and rigorous student assessment is required.
