Position description

The UCLA Undergraduate Education Initiatives unit seeks a lecturer for Fall Quarter (AY 2024-25) to teach for a lower division undergraduate course as part of the General Education UCLA Cluster Program. This position includes team-teaching the lectures for Cluster 73 for freshman students with varied backgrounds. This course explores our current understanding of the brain, drawing on several disciplines - from neurobiology and psychology to literary and film analysis, as well as philosophy and disability studies - to develop a multi-layered account of how we relate to our increasingly sophisticated knowledge of the brain to the contexts and meanings of subjectivity, mental health, and disability.

• An earned doctorate from an accredited university
