Position Description
The Department of Biomolecular Engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for an ongoing pool of assistant adjunct professors, associate adjunct professors, and adjunct professors.
Adjunct faculty members are expected to engage in research or other creative activity, teaching, and university and public service.
