The Department of Sociology at UC San Diego has occasional openings for temporary non-tenure track lecturers (Unit 18) throughout the academic year.

Teaching expectations are based on the needs of the department including large, introductory courses in applicants' sub-disciplines and possibly upper and lower division courses related to their own research interests.

Candidates must identify the specific course or courses they are applying to teach and quarters they are available.

Responsibilities entail the effective instruction of students, teaching classes in accordance with course objectives and published schedules, advising students on academic matters, and maintaining an active interest in the advances / current thinking in their subject area.

Basic qualifications (required at time of application)

Applicants are required to have an MA or ABD in Sociology or a related discipline, with (two years required) relevant experience to the course(s) to which they are applying to teach.

For some courses, an applicant without a graduate degree in sociology may also apply, provided that the person is an experienced practitioner with practical experiences relevant to the subject matter taught.

In those cases, a minimum working experience of two years in a related field or industry is required.

Preferred qualifications

Among applicants with a PhD, those with teaching experience are preferred; experience includes graduate teaching (2-5 years).

We are especially interested in recruiting candidates committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and who will make a strong and meaningful contribution to the development of a campus climate that supports that commitment.

This can be demonstrated via a diversity statement or other documents that show an inclusive approach to teaching that values diversity.
