Position Description


Crown College at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for an ongoing pool of lecturers who may be appointed to teach Crowns enhancement courses (which does not include the Crown College 1 course). Crowns enhancement courses promote innovation and the development of transferable skills through work in areas such as start-ups, social or creative entrepreneurship, computational modelling, and digital communication.

Crown instructors typically meet with a seminar of about 25 students two or three times per week and present materials from an established syllabus that in some cases the instructors help develop. Instruction involves assigning and evaluating student work, preparing grading, holding weekly office hours; and carrying out other typical instructional duties.

Selected candidates will demonstrate expertise in one or several professional fields including but certainly not limited to education, non-profit management, technological innovation, documentary work, or journalism.

Applicants with any of the following qualifications are strongly encouraged to apply:

• Demonstrated record of working effectively with students from a wide range of social, cultural, and academic backgrounds.
• Record of peer-reviewed research or creative activity in a relevant field such as education, creative writing (fiction or non-fiction), journalism, filmography, entrepreneurship (for-profit or non-profit), technology development, programming/modeling, or philosophy.

Internal candidates will be given priority consideration.
