Part-Time Instructor: Life Science Programs

Funding is generated through fees collected from a diverse, complex, and ever-changing student population. Part-time instructor positions are on a course by course contracted basis. This is NOT a faculty position.

Online teaching positions are now available in the three online Life Science Programs – Medical Device Development, Clinical Trials: Medical Device and Drug Development, and Regulatory Affairs and Compliance. We are seeking qualified applicants possessing current knowledge and/or teaching experience in the topics areas: Human Subject Safety, Clinical Data Management, GCP, Quality Systems, Regulatory Affairs for Post Market Approval, and Global Regulatory Affairs.

Specific Instructor Duties
  • Develop and/or update course syllabi in consultation with the UCI DCE Life Sciences Director as assigned and using approved syllabus template
  • Prepare and deliver online course materials and learning assessments in the assigned format
  • Utilize the Canvas Learning Management System as the course support platform
  • Communicate teaching objectives and specific learning outcomes to students, and clearly outline the grading policies for the course

  • Employ culturally competent teaching methodologies in the classroom inclusive of both domestic and international student populations
  • Allow students to review their final exams/papers for up to 13 months following the last class session
  • Use subject-matter expertise and leverage additional resources appropriately to enhance the curriculum (i.e.: make arrangements for guest speakers, etc.)
  • Design interactive and motivational classroom activities to fully engage participants and to reinforce student learning
  • Update materials periodically, and regularly monitor course evaluations in order to make adjustments and improvements to the curriculum

Our curriculum is constantly updated and tailored to bring students the background, expertise, and business practices to remain competitive and advance their careers. Taught by qualified practitioners, our courses feature practical applications, underlying rationale, and current issues, all of which can be immediately utilized in and applied to our students’ work environments.

Part-time, temporary assignments are on an as-needed basis. This is an ONGOING recruitment. We accept part-time instructor applications all year long; when the division has a need to fill, we refer to the “pool” of applications on file. We are looking specifically for instructors who are qualified to teach as early as Spring 2023 quarter (beginning April 3rd).

Individuals hired to teach these courses must understand that all such agreements with the University are made on a course-by-course basis and that the instructor will be made no guarantee of continual involvement with the University in any capacity.
