About The I School
The UC Berkeley School of Information (I School) advances knowledge and practice everywhere humans interact with digital technologies. Through interdisciplinary research and teaching, we are committed to expanding access to information and to improving its usability, reliability, and credibility while preserving security and privacy. This requires the insights of scholars from diverse fields, such as information and computer science, design, social sciences, management, law, and policy. The I School educates professionals and scholars to understand the problems and possibilities of information, to develop models of information practice, and to design useful and usable information applications, services, and solutions.
The I School offers three professional master's degrees and an academic doctoral degree. Candidates selected for our Data Science Lecturer position typically teach classes that primarily enroll graduate students in our online MIDS program, which trains data scientists to use the latest tools and analytical methods to work with data at scale, derive insights from complex and unstructured data, and solve real-world problems. Successful instructors in our program are dynamic, enthusiastic information scholars and professionals who encourage both real-world applications and deeper theoretical discussions of contemporary and historical issues in information and data science.
Responsibilities
Teaching responsibilities include planning and leading online classes that focus on active learning: discussions, group activities, examples, and walkthroughs relevant to concepts covered in existing asynchronous materials associated with the course.
In addition to teaching responsibilities, general duties include: hold office hours, assign grades, advise students on online course tools, prepare course materials (e.g., syllabus, assessment materials), provide clear and prompt feedback on student work, and maintain the course website. Lecturers are also expected to attend bi-weekly course team meetings with other instructors of the course, and are encouraged to attend monthly faculty meetings.

See the review date specified in AP Recruit to learn whether the school is currently reviewing applications for a specific position. If there is no future review date specified, your application may not be considered at this time.
The School of Information is interested in candidates who will contribute to diversity and equal opportunity in higher education through their teaching or other related areas. We require that applicants submit a statement addressing past and/or potential contributions.
