The Department of Earth and Environmental Engineering (EEE) at Columbia University in the City of New York invites applications for a Lecturer in Discipline or Senior Lecturer in Discipline position beginning January 1, 2025. Lecturers in Discipline are full-time, non-tenure-track faculty members responsible for teaching.
