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 []
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.

Seventh College []
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.
