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 part-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.

Muir College []
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.

Sixth College []
Sixth College's Culture, Art and Technology Program offers students varied scholarly opportunities centered on exploring the intersection of art and technology as a lens to understand, reflect on, and critique culture and cultural production. From the origins of civilization to the history of Hollywood and the future of the environment, students in CAT engage with big questions about where we've come from, who we are, and where we are going.

We aim to teach students to think critically and creatively, while also preparing them for success in college and the world beyond. The CAT Program primarily hires lecturers to teach our upper division public communication courses (CAT 125 and 125R) and our upper division experiential learning course (CAT 124).
