Lecturer Pool - Linguistics

The Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley invites applications for a pool of qualified non-tenure track lecturers to teach Linguistics courses should an opening arise.

Teaching Responsibilities: We are seeking outstanding lecturers capable of teaching one or more courses in the undergraduate Linguistics curriculum. Courses will be assigned on an as-needed basis.

General duties: In addition to teaching responsibilities, general duties may include, but are not limited to, holding office hours, assigning grades, advising students, preparing and developing course materials (e.g., syllabus, exams, quizzes, etc.), supervising GSIs, maintaining a course website, and using a learning management system (e.g. bCourses (Canvas) site).

Please note: The use of a lecturer pool does not guarantee that an open position exists. See the review date specified in AP Recruit to learn whether the department is currently reviewing applications for a specific position. If there is no future review date specified, your application may not be considered at this time.

You must be eligible to work in the United States. For those who are not US citizens or permanent residents, a legal permit that allows work in the United States (such as a US visa that allows employment) is required by the start date of the position. The department is unable to provide a visa/work permit.

The department is interested in candidates who will contribute to the diversity and equal opportunity in higher education through their teaching, and service. The department is also interested in individuals who may have had non-traditional career paths or who may have taken time off for family reasons (e.g., children, disabled, or elderly), or who have achieved excellence in careers outside academia (e.g., in professional or industry service).
