Those teaching large courses are expected to work with, meet with, and mentor graduate student instructors.

Basic qualifications (required at the time of application):

Additional (required by the start date of the position):

Salary
The minimum starting rate for Lecturers in Economics is $12,000 per course. This is calculated using the minimum annual salary listed on the Non-Senate Faculty Instructional Salary Scale for a six (6) course load that comes closest to $12,000/course but not lower. As of July 1, 2019, the minimum annual salary for non-senate instructors is $72,170. This salary divided by a six course load equals $12,028/course. Some credit may be given to prior college-level teaching experience per Non-Senate Faculty guidelines (not including graduate student or Summer Session teaching).

Diversity, equity, and inclusion are core values at UC Berkeley and the Department of Economics. Our excellence can only be fully realized by faculty, students, and staff who share our commitment to these values.
