Requisition Number: JPF05986
The UCLA Undergraduate Education Initiatives unit seeks a lecturer for winter and spring quarters in Academic Year 2020-21 to teach a lower division undergraduate course in winter quarter and a spring seminar as part of the General Education UCLA Cluster Program.
This position includes team-teaching the lectures for Cluster 70, which uses the concept of evolution, as it applies to biological organisms, Earth, solar system, and universe itself, to introduce students to both life and physical science and to examine the evolution of life. We are specifically seeking a scholar who can provide microbiological perspectives. This position will entail team coordination and contribution to generation of writing assignments, exam questions, and grading of student submissions.
This position also includes developing and teaching a seminar course for freshman students with varied backgrounds focusing on a microbiology as a topic related to the evolution of life. This position will involve working closely with students on their writing.
UCLA has a diverse student population in one of the more diverse cities in the nation; we particularly seek candidates who have taught similarly diverse students in a major research university.
