Position description
UC San Diego's college system provides undergraduates with a living
and learning community that mirrors the experience of studying at a
smaller liberal arts college while affording the benefits of a
large research university. Each of the eight colleges has its own
academic program through which students fulfill the university's
writing requirements and which serve as the academic manifestation
of the unique focus of each college. These programs are at the
heart of the college's student life and academic vision and reflect
their college's mission statement and educational philosophy,
providing a general education foundation on which the students
build their disciplinary expertise in their majors and
upper-division coursework. The overall structure, subject-matter,
and educational approach of these programs varies from college to
college, but in fulfilling the UC-mandated writing requirement,
they are all designed to help students develop the core
competencies of written communication, oral communication, critical
thinking, and information literacy.
We are seeking applicants for non-tenure track lecturer position(s)
that are eligible for continuing status after 18 successful
quarters of teaching. Appointments will be full-time/annual.
Teaching evaluations, sample syllabi, and letters of recommendation
may be required if the applicant is selected for an interview. If
you have a preference to work with one or more of the Colleges,
please rank the colleges of interest in your cover letter. The
appointment will be to only one of the Colleges.
In these programs, lecturers teach writing and course content in
seminar-style classes. Lecturers are responsible for assessing
student work.
Eighth College [https://eighth.ucsd.edu/]
Eighth College is the newest of the eight undergraduate colleges at
the University of California, San Diego and will matriculate its
first cohort of students in Fall 2023. Building on the College's
theme, "Engagement & Community," its academic mission is to
introduce students to critical community engagement in the context
of addressing structural racism. The program encourages
inter-disciplinary inquiry, critical thinking, and invites
multifaceted engagement with communities - both in the San Diego
area and elsewhere.
Muir College [https://muir.ucsd.edu/writing/]
The Muir College Writing Program courses engage in critical
analysis in thinking, reading, and writing during which students
must advance beyond the basic competency expected at entrance to
understand and write discourse acceptable at the university level.
Even when faced with challenging topics, students must demonstrate
the ability to comprehend textual arguments at more than a
superficial level; their writing must exhibit an understanding of
academic arguments and analysis. There are three thematic threads
for courses-Humanities, Science, and Environmental/Social
Justice.
Seventh College
[https://seventh.ucsd.edu/synthesis-program/index.html]
The Seventh College Synthesis Programs invites students to
participate in an equity-minded and inclusive curriculum that
challenges them to reimagine their reading, writing, listening, and
research practices in order to develop rhetorical awareness and
create processes that allow students to use their critical thinking
and voices to engage with questions related to the climate crisis
and other issues related to our changing planet. The Seventh
College Synthesis Programs encompass two programs: 1) a two-course
writing intensive sequence that asks students to deconstruct the
tools of academic and public discourse in order to form strategies
for addressing the planet's intersecting local and global
ecological, socioeconomic, and political changes and 2) an
upper-division project-based course, each with its own instructor
and theme offered often collaborating with campus and community
partners.
Warren College
[https://warren.ucsd.edu/warren-writing/index.html]
The Warren College Writing Program aligns its curriculum with the
college's namesake, former Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren
and the college motto, "A life in balance." In Warren Writing
classes, students explore ways of analyzing, researching and
communicating about problems that have a direct bearing on their
lives. Course curricula emphasize a problem-based pedagogy and the
importance of self-reflection on students' learning. In developing
as writers and thinkers, students gain communicative tools needed
to write clearly, effectively, and compassionately to a variety of
audiences about the solutions most needed to restore balance and
equity to people's lives and the communities in which they
live.
In these programs, lecturers present content in large lecture
courses with the assistance of graduate TAs. Lecturers support the
TAs who facilitate discussion sections and assess student written
work.
Eleanor Roosevelt College
[https://roosevelt.ucsd.edu/mmw/index.html]
The Making of the Modern World
[https://roosevelt.ucsd.edu/mmw/index.html] is an interdisciplinary
GenEd program at Eleanor Roosevelt College. MMW is grounded in
world history, from human origins to the contemporary world, and
provides instruction in academic research and writing. Since 1988,
when the program and college were founded, MMW has been at the
heart of ERC's general education requirements, serving as an
academic manifestation of a fundamental aspect of the college's
mission, namely, "to feature dimensions of international
understanding and cultural diversity," and is required of all ERC
students.
Revelle College
[https://revelle.ucsd.edu/humanities/index.html]
The Humanities Program is a core text and writing program that
offers five interdisciplinary, chronologically- arranged courses in
the literature and thought of the Western humanistic tradition to
undergraduates in Revelle College. The program emphasizes the
development of skills in critical thinking and formal, persuasive
writing. The Humanities Program hires lecturers to teach both in
our lower-division sequence (HUM 1-5) and our upper-division
writing course (HUM 100), which is a small seminar-style class.
