Oakes College (https://oakes.ucsc.edu/) at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for an ongoing pool of part-time Lecturers to teach sections of College 1, the first course of UCSC's Academic Literacy Curriculum, which launches in fall 2018. College 1 is a required core course designed to help students develop academic and civic proficiency in reading and critical thinking. Students will develop understanding of academic ethos and habits of mind and practice that are tied to a sense of belonging and academic success. This course prepares students for success in other UCSC courses. There is no placement exam for College 1; enrollment in this course is not tracked by proficiency in reading, writing, or critical thinking.

Instructors meet with a seminar of about thirty students two or three times per week and present material from an established syllabus; assign and evaluate student work; meet with students in small groups; prepare grades, which may include narrative evaluations of student performance; hold weekly office hours; and carry out other typical instructional duties.

Oakes College focuses on social justice, community building and engagement, ethnic studies, and the sciences. The college's academic priority is Emancipatory Literacies for a Just Society: Engaged Scholarship in a Diverse World. Applicants should be able to draw from expertise in one or several of the major disciplinary subject areas such as Arts, Engineering, Humanities, Physical and Biological Sciences, and Social Sciences.
