Job Description Summary

The Department of Mathematical Sciences at Bentley University—an independent, private business-oriented university located in suburban Boston—invites applications for a full-time Lecturer position, to begin July 1, 2025.

The primary teaching focus of the role is introductory math and statistics classes.
