Summer Session Teaching
The School of Biological Sciences at UC San Diego is a vibrant center of scientific discovery, innovation, and collaboration. Teaching courses during Summer Session allows for continuous student progress and exploration. Each year, more than 14,000 students enroll in summer to accelerate their time to degree and enrich their student experience.
Biological Sciences invites you to consider teaching during Summer Session. In general, classes are taught during short 5-week sessions. You can teach one, or multiple classes.
Applications are being accepted for the Summer Session Instructor Pool on a rolling basis. Please note, there are campus deadlines to submit proposed courses so the bulk of applications move through as a cohort. There may be opportunities to fill gaps or propose courses after a deadline, so all are encouraged to apply.
