Successful candidates will be appointed in a department that aligns with their disciplinary perspective and will also have teaching and service duties in Labor Studies.
UCLA’s Labor Studies Program is a rapidly growing social science undergraduate degree program serving a diverse (primarily Latinx) student body that reflects the demographics of working-class Los Angeles and California. Launched in 2019, the program teaches roughly 1,500 students each academic year and enrolls close to 200 majors and minors. The large majority of Labor Studies majors are women, and first generation college students from under-represented communities. Labor Studies plans to launch a masters degree program in the near future and many of the departments the UCLA Labor Studies program is partnering with for these searches have both undergraduate and doctoral programs
