The Writing Program at the University of California, Santa Cruz, invites applications for an ongoing pool of qualified temporary instructors beginning with the fall quarter of 2007, to teach extra sections of (1) required first-year writing classes; (2) college core courses for students who have not satisfied the University of California’s Entry-Level Writing Requirement (ELWR); and (3) courses with many students for whom English is a second language. Candidates accepted to our ongoing pool may be approached by other departments to teach in areas related to their demonstrated areas of expertise. The UC Santa Cruz campus is especially interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through their teaching.

Please note: Applying to the ongoing Writing Program Lecturer Pool is a process separate from application to the ongoing College Writing Seminar Lecturer Pool, and requires a separate application.
