The Department of Bioengineering at the University of Colorado Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus seeks a part-time Lecturer. The major responsibilities for this position are to work with university faculty and industry partners to develop online, asynchronous content for four Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs courses that will lead to a certificate, create in-person experiential learning activities with input from industry hosts, and teach at least one online, asynchronous class each semester once the Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs Certificate Program launches in Fall 2025. We value the ability to engage effectively with students, faculty, and staff of diverse backgrounds.

The U.S. life sciences industry employs 2.2 million people and continues to grow rapidly, creating intense competition for a limited talent pool.

Many companies report recruiting individuals with certificates, often strategically partnering with institutes of higher education to train and secure the talent required. The University of Colorado, Denver | Anschutz Medical Campus has partnered with the Colorado Bioscience Institute and nearly 40 representatives from industry to build a micro-credential program and diversify the workforce in Colorado and across the United States.
