Lecturer-Economics-College of Letters and Science

The Department of Economics at the University of California, Berkeley is recruiting a pool of qualified lecturers to teach core and upper-division undergraduate courses in Economics.

UC Berkeley plans for instruction to be given in person. However, UC Berkeley is prepared to implement hybrid and/or flexible modes of instruction in response to unforeseen circumstances (e.g., public emergencies). Remote instruction requires an online course to be designed from the outset for delivery via distance learning methods. Instructors must have internet access and be prepared to adjust pedagogical approaches with a remote setting and use new teaching tools. Department policy requires instructors to create and maintain a bcourses site.
