Position description
The Health Justice and Community initiative at the University of California, Santa Barbara invites applications for qualified lecturers with strong research training and innovative pedagogic experience to teach courses in critical health justice. This initiative is currently housed in the Department of Exercise and Sport Studies, which is undergoing curricular transformations and focusing on the social, cultural, and political foundations of health justice.
Ideally, the successful candidate will be hired to develop and teach both small and large courses as part of the Department’s new curricular offerings, including an introductory course on health justice & community. We are especially interested in candidates whose scholarly interests go beyond standard biomedical and public health approaches to teach interdisciplinary health justice centered courses on such topics as: critical disability studies, food justice, environmental/climate justice, health disparities/policy, reproductive care, indigenous knowledge production, community healing practices, migrant health care, medical racism/apartheid, colonial medicine, etc.
And, while an on-going research agenda is not expected of this position, candidates must show evidence of strong research training in order to teach research methods (qualitative/humanistic or quantitative) as part of their teaching repertoire.
This posting will remain open until March 2026 to accommodate department needs.
