Appointments are part-time and will be made quarter-by-quarter based upon departmental needs (although the goal is to establish assignments before the start of the academic year, September 23, 2024). We will contact qualified individuals as needed to teach specific courses and this posting is to create a pool of candidates – if you are not contacted, you may still be in consideration for a future possibility.

Responsibilities:

A lecturer’s responsibilities encompass: conducting scheduled classes or delivering online content in accordance with UCI, CTSA, and Department of Drama guidelines (utilizing the online Canvas learning management system as appropriate); teaching assigned courses in alignment with the established syllabus content and learning objectives, and adhering to department course coordination policies when applicable; assessing and evaluating student learning, including the submission of grades; being accessible to students in assigned classes, either in person or electronically, to offer additional academic support as necessary and appropriate for the teaching role; and following university-wide policies for student evaluations of instruction and peer observations.
