Lecturers

EBIO hires temporary faculty in the Lecturer job code when a regularly assigned courses faculty member is on sabbatical or other leave. Key responsibilities will be teaching in person, online, or a combination thereof. Compensation for Lecturers in EBIO is determined by the College of Arts and Sciences Level C policy, as stated here. If you are interested in lecturing for EBIO, please send Kristina Schauer your resume and indicate which EBIO course(s) you would like to be considered for. 

Graders

During the academic year, EBIO hires CU students as Graders when a regularly assigned courses faculty member petitions the department for grader support and receives funding approval. We require that you have taken the course, or an equivalent, in order to grade for the intended course. Grader pay is calculated according to the estimated total number of hours the faculty lead calculates for the semester, times $15/hour for an undergraduate grader or times $25/hour for a graduate grader. As such, total compensation varies between courses according to the total hours anticipated (currently ranging between 20 and 300 hours for the semester). If you are interested in grading for EBIO courses, please send a brief one-page resume of experience, including all EBIO courses completed, to Kristina.Schauer.  

Student Hourly

Many labs in EBIO hire student hourly employees throughout the year. Key responsibilities and hiring ranges follow the Office of Student Employment policy, as stated here. If you are a CU student and interested in working in a lab, please contact the Professor of the lab you are interested in joining.
