AY25-26 Department of English Lecturer Pool

The Department of English at UC Santa Barbara invites applications for a pool of qualified lecturers to teach courses in English for any upcoming openings. Screening of applicants is ongoing and will continue as needed for any upcoming openings. The number of positions varies from quarter to quarter, depending on the needs of the department. Lecturers teach lower- and upper-division courses, including introductory and advanced English courses and, in some cases, graduate-level courses.

The posting will remain open until March 31, 2026 to accommodate department needs. Appointments for fall quarter are usually reviewed in July, winter quarter in November, and spring quarter in February. The pool will close on March 31, 2026; if you would like to continue to be considered after that time, and the pooled position is advertised again, you will need to submit a new application.

Please note: The use of a lecturer pool does not guarantee that an open position exists at the time you are applying. See the review date specified in UC Recruit to learn whether the department is currently reviewing applications for an upcoming opening. If there is no future review date specified, your application may not be considered at this time.

Candidates must be legally authorized to work in the United States without the need for employer sponsorship.
