Temporary Lecturer 2017-18

The Department of History within the Division of Arts and Humanities at UC San Diego is committed to academic excellence and diversity within the faculty, staff, and student body.

We are seeking applicants for temporary lecturer position(s) in East Asian History, with Korea and Modern China of particular interest but all times and places of specialization welcome: China, Japan, Korea – modern and pre-modern. Definitely needed are a Winter-quarter lower-division survey of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean history from the Mongol conquests to the mid-19th century, and a Spring-quarter survey that takes the story up to today. For both surveys, syllabuses can be provided for the successful candidate to adapt, and we will consult on assignment structure. Other courses will be upper-division undergraduate lectures in modern and/or premodern Chinese, Japanese and/or Korean history, depending on applicants’ specialties and proposals; and perhaps an undergraduate colloquium. Appointment(s) may be part-time, full-time, quarterly or annual, for the academic year 2017-18.

Candidates should normally possess a Ph.D., but ABDs are considered. Qualified candidates will demonstrate excellence in scholarship. Some teaching experience required.

Preferred requirements also include strong demonstrated accomplishments or potential in areas contributing to equity, diversity, and inclusion, and a desire to play a role in advancing UC San Diego’s commitment to achieving excellence and diversity.

Proof of authorization to work in the U.S. will be required prior to employment (Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986).

Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience and based on published UC pay scales.

Applications will be accepted electronically at https://apol-recruit.ucsd.edu/apply/JPF01371. Submit cover letter summarizing teaching experience and potential course offerings, C.V., teaching evaluations within a three year span and a short separate statement describing past experience in activities that promote diversity and inclusion and/or plans to make future contributions. (For further information about contributions to diversity statements, see http://facultyequity.ucsd.edu/Faculty-Applicant-C2D-Info.asp. Additional optional documents may include sample syllabi.
