The Faculty of Science invites applications for part-time Sessional Lecturer positions to teach SCIE 113, the First-Year Seminar Course in Science in 2024 Winter Term 1. We are seeking multiple individuals to teach 1, 2 or maximum 3 sections each.

Course Description:

UBC's First-Year Seminar in Science is a 3-credit course which offers a small-class experience where students learn about what science is and how it is done. In this course, students learn to develop and analyze arguments, read scientific literature, and interpret data; these skills are then used to write argumentative essays. We also explore how society influences science, and how science influences society, including issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Job Description:

Primary duties include teaching interactive classes three times per week to first-year undergraduate science students and providing feedback and grades on assignments. The course curriculum is well defined, and sessional lecturers will be provided with a detailed lesson plan and pre-prepared course site on the UBC learning management system. Additional duties include collaborating with graduate teaching assistants and attending teaching team meetings. The term is expected to run from September 3rd to December 21st, 2024.

Candidates should have a PhD in any field of science, and relevant teaching experience at the post-secondary level, ideally with experience teaching writing or communication. Experience with the Canvas learning management system is an asset.

Equity and diversity are essential to academic excellence. An open and diverse community fosters the inclusion of voices that have been underrepresented or discouraged. We encourage applications from members of groups that have been marginalized on any grounds enumerated under the B.C. Human Rights Code, including sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, racialization, disability, political belief, religion, marital or family status, age, and/or status as a First Nation, Metis, Inuit, or Indigenous person. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however Canadians and permanent residents of Canada will be given priority.

Application Instructions:

Applications should include an up-to-date curriculum vitae and cover letter. Names of references will be requested from short-listed candidates. The application deadline is two weeks from the date of this job posting. Applications should be emailed to the course coordinator Ryan Liew at ryan.liew@ubc.ca.
