  Position description

The UCLA Undergraduate Education Initiatives unit seeks a lecturer for Fall Quarter (AY 2024-25) to teach for a lower division undergraduate course as part of the General Education UCLA Cluster Program. This position includes team-teaching the lectures for Cluster 73 for freshman students with varied backgrounds. This course explores our current understanding of the brain, drawing on several disciplines – from neurobiology and psychology to literary and film analysis, as well as philosophy and disability studies – to develop a multi-layered account of how we relate to our increasingly sophisticated knowledge of the brain to the contexts and meanings of subjectivity, mental health, and disability.

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, especially to a General Education population

• Knowledge and training in psychology and neuroscience, with special focus on memory

• Experience in teaching writing and composition

Preferred Qualifications:

• At least three years of college-level teaching experience

• 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 syllabus

• Names and contact information of two references
