The Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation in the College of Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley, is seeking qualified temporary instructors to teach undergraduate courses, graduate courses, and/or special topics workshops should an opening arise in the Fall and Spring semesters, or for the Summer term. Applicants should accurately list their specializations so they can be properly evaluated as course needs arise; the existence of this pool does not guarantee that a position is available.

Lecturers supervise student design projects, give lectures, prepare assignments and project topics & deliverables, hold regular office hours, prepare exams or hold reviews, give design advice, and submit final grades.

In addition to lecturers, we also seek Teacher Special Programs (TSP) instructors, should an opening arise. The TSP's principal responsibilities can range from teaching a short course, providing a lecturer with industry expertise, participating in design critiques during a course, teaching at Jacobs Institute boot camps or workshops, or contributing to major curriculum development.

About the Jacobs Institute: Made possible by a $20-million commitment from the Paul and Stacy Jacobs Foundation, the Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation is UC Berkeley's interdisciplinary hub for learning and making at the intersection of design and technology. We see design and emerging technologies as integrally linked: technology opens possibilities and extends the reach of design, while design links new technologies with human experiences and ensures that innovation truly benefits people and communities. Bringing together technical depth, design methodology, and a focus on societal impact, we aim to educate students who understand both the under-the-hood details that make something work and the big-picture context that makes something matter. We accomplish these goals through a suite of offerings that include curricular, co-curricular and public programs.

Core programs within the Jacobs Institute include:

• 
  
• A professional Master of Design (MDes) degree, offered jointly by the College of
  Engineering and College of Environmental Design;
  
• The Berkeley Certificate in Design Innovation, an undergraduate certificate
  offered in partnership with the Haas School of Business, College of Letters & Science, and College of Environmental Design;
  
• A curriculum of ~15 design-focused Design Innovation (DES INV) undergraduate and graduate courses offered Fall, Spring and Summer, for which the institute recruits lecturers and faculty;
  
• A makerspace staffed by professional and student workers which is accessed by 1200+ students each semester;
  
• Mentorship and co-curricular programming for students, such as the Berkeley - Engineering Design Scholars and Innovation Catalysts programs;
  
• Support for 15+ design and technology courses from affiliated campus departments, ~ 30+ clubs, and ~ 8 Decal courses each semester by offering access to high quality teaching, meeting and event space;
  
• Public events and speaker series;
  
• Partnerships with companies and international universities.
