Position description

The UCLA Undergraduate Education Initiatives unit seeks a 50% lecturer to teach in Academic Year 2026-27 for a lower division undergraduate course as part of the General Education UCLA Cluster Program. This position includes team-teaching the lectures for Cluster 20, Race and Indigeneity in the US, in the Fall and Winter and leading a seminar around a relevant topic in the Spring.

The Cluster examines the nature and meaning of race in American society through the study of history, literature, sociology, and law. The course engages students in active dialogue and debate to teach them to be culturally fluent in the new multiethnic complexities that have displaced the outdated black-white paradigm of U.S. race relations. This position will entail working as part of the teaching team on the generation of writing assignments, exam questions, and grading of student submissions. This position may also include administrative duties.

This position is represented by the University Council - American Federation of Teachers. Internal applicants will be considered for reappointment prior to the consideration of external applicants.

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.

Required Qualifications:

An earned doctorate from an accredited university

College-level teaching experience

Knowledge and training/background in Sociology, History, Ethnic Studies, Indigenous Studies, English, and/or other related fields

Experience in teaching writing and composition

Preferred Qualifications:

At least three years of college-level teaching experience, especially to a General Education population in large courses

Excellent verbal and written communication skills

Must be capable of delivering high-quality instruction to a diverse student body

Requirements:
