LECTURER, GENERAL EDUCATION UCLA CLUSTER PROGRAM
Cluster 2CW: Building Climates

The UCLA Undergraduate Education Initiatives unit seeks a lecturer for Spring Quarter (AY 2024-25) to teach a seminar as part of the General Education UCLA Cluster Program. This position includes developing and teaching a seminar course (Cluster 2CW) for freshman students from various backgrounds. The seminar should cover a topic such as architecture, urban planning, the climate, and the environment.

This position includes designing a curriculum and syllabus, generating assignments, and crafting related course components for their own seminar. Furthermore, in addition to the assignments and exams, the lecturer will grade student submissions and presentations utilizing appropriate rubrics created by the lecturer and shared with students.

We are seeking a scholar who can provide a view of the effect of climate change on the urban environment, preferably someone with background in architecture and urban studies. The ideal candidate should be able to explain the relationship of policy to urban form. The candidate should be able to 'center' the build environment in their seminar. The candidate will teach students how to read and understand basic academic research papers, and how to develop arguments using the scientific literature and the popular press. Students will then complete a capstone paper reflecting their knowledge and understanding of the material.

UCLA has a diverse student population in one of the more diverse cities in the nation; we particularly seek candidates who have taught similarly diverse students in a major research university.
