Lecturer Pool- Film and Media- UC Berkeley
The Department of Film & Media at UC Berkeley invites applications for a pool of qualified temporary instructors to teach undergraduate-level courses, should a need arise, in any of the following possible areas:

Reading and Composition (first- and second-year university writing courses using film and media materials)
Special Topics in Film and Media (courses on themes, genres, or auteurs)
General Film History

The number of positions hired from this pool will vary from semester to semester and summer session to summer session, subject to the needs and budget of the department, and in some instances may be zero. When an instructor is hired, the position will most likely be part time, as low as 17% of full time employment during the academic year and 11% during the summer, depending on instructional workload.

This pool will remain open until May 3, 2020 to accommodate upcoming course needs. When a need arises for a Fall semester, we typically review applications in April; for a Spring semester or Summer term, our review of applications is typically in September, although unexpected vacancies may shorten that timeline.

Semester positions typically start in mid-January for Spring Semester and in mid-August for Fall Semester. There are several staggered summer sessions of varying length, with the earliest start date in mid-to-late May and the latest end date in mid-August. Appointments may be renewable based on the department's need, available funding, and on lecturer performance.
