Funding is generated through fees collected from a diverse, complex, and ever-changing student population. Part-time instructor positions are on a course by course contracted basis.

Online teaching positions are now available in the Teaching Artistry Certificate Program. We are seeking qualified applicants possessing current knowledge and/or teaching experience in the topic of training artists to be successful teachers of their chosen art.

* Prepare and deliver online course materials and learning assessments in the assigned format

* Utilize the Canvas Learning Management System as the course support platform

* Evaluate student achievement of specific learning outcomes, and assign grades

* Post final student grades to the transcript system by set deadlines

* Respond to student questions and learning needs in a timely manner

* Handle student inquiries about final grades and consult with Academic Program Manager as needed

* Complete required administrative tasks in a timely manner including: completing all hiring paperwork; submitting updated quarterly syllabi; posting bio and photo on the UCI DCE website; signing quarterly contract; ordering required texts; communicating AV and classroom needs

* Employ culturally competent teaching methodologies in the classroom inclusive of both domestic and international student populations

* Allow students to review their final exams/papers for up to 13 months following the last class session

* Design interactive and motivational classroom activities to fully engage participants and to reinforce student learning

* Update materials periodically, and regularly monitor course evaluations in order to make adjustments and improvements to the curriculum

Our curriculum is constantly updated and tailored to bring students the background, expertise, and business practices to remain competitive and advance their careers. Taught by qualified practitioners, our courses feature practical applications, underlying rationale, and current issues, all of which can be immediately utilized in and applied to our students' work environments.

Part-time, temporary assignments are on an as-needed basis. This is an ONGOING recruitment. We accept part-time instructor applications all year long; when the division has a need to fill, we refer to the "pool" of applications on file. We are looking specifically for instructors who are qualified to teach the following course(s) as early as Spring quarter beginning April 2026.
