[KineJapan] Job in film/media/lit at UCR, 2023-24

[Anne]

Hi everyone,

I’m writing to let you know of a post opening for the 2023-24 school year at UCR. It’s for 5 classes over 3 Quarters, full benefits, pay is about $12K per class. If you would send this to anyone in your networks who might be a good candidate, I/we would very much appreciate it! 

The job ad is attached, with a deadline of August 5, and can also be found at https://aprecruit.ucr.edu/JPF01734?fbclid=IwAR3Mm2poYZU9ugzFw8ff_-O4IAJ7IQTKhgG8GLTgPrl4zbR23xwnU4I-T7U

Students are very good, the TA support is awesome, and it is a teaching-focused position (meaning, the ad also mentions a campus presence, but in reality, the priority is in being present and on point for the students, though there are various communities it would be very easy and possible to tap into). 

Feel free to mail me directly with any questions, or send anyone my way. There is some flexibility in the classes for Winter and Spring.
*Classes start September 25th, and authorization to work in the US is needed by that date.

Wishing you the best of downtimes this summer…

Anne
