Position description

The UCLA Undergraduate Education Initiatives unit seeks a lecturer to teach in Academic Year 2025-26 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dialogue and debate to teach them to be culturally fluent in the new multiethnic complexities that have displaced the outdated black-white paradigm of U.S. race relations. We are specifically seeking a scholar who can provide perspectives on historical and contemporary issues about Asian American communities. This position will entail working as part of the teaching team on the generation of writing assignments, exam questions, and grading of student submissions.

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, Asian American Studies, Ethnic Studies, or English, 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:

• Cover letter

• Curriculum vitae

• Statement of teaching

• Proposed syllabi for spring seminar

• Names and contact information of two references
