Lecturer, Internship Placement Program

Description

The University of Virginia’s (UVA) Office of the Executive Vice President and Provost invites applications for a Lecturer in the University Career Center’s Internship Placement Program (IPP). The UVA Career Center engages and supports students in the discovery and pursuit of meaningful lives by offering customized coaching and advising, fostering tailored connections with employers, and creating innovative programming. The Lecturer in the IPP will teach courses that connect students to quality professional internships with public and private sector organizations in Charlottesville, as well as remote internships located in other areas.

This role includes teaching UNST 3910 and UNST 3920, one-credit undergraduate courses that provide structured reflection opportunities for students on topics such as self, teams, leadership, and organizations. As part of the courses, students gain a deeper understanding of their internship experience, engage in projects and activities, and explore their evolving goals, interests, values, and talents. The number of sections will be determined by student enrollment per semester; there are currently five sections of UNST 3910 scheduled for the Fall 2027 semester this Lecturer will be assigned to teach. If some sections are not offered, additional administrative or course development duties may be assigned. Other internship-related courses may also be assigned, as directed by the UVA Career Center, but would not exceed 14 credits across the Fall and Spring semesters.

This is an Academic General Faculty, tenure ineligible, part-time (0.5 FTE) Lecturer appointment. The nine-month, benefit-eligible appointment is for the period August 25, 2026 through May 24, 2027, and may be renewed based on performance, program success and funding.
