The School of Optometry at the University of California, Berkeley (optometry.berkeley.edu) invites applications for a pool of qualified health science clinical instructors to teach in the School of Optometry and/or UCBSO partner off campus clinics should an opening arise.

The number of positions varies from semester to semester, depending on the needs of the School of Optometry. Positions may range from 20% to 100% time.
The responsibilities of the health science clinical instructors include teaching optometry students in the patient care environment on or off the UC Berkeley campus or teaching optometry students the basics of eye examinations sequence in the pre-clinical environment. They may also perform service to the school and community through education or various outreach programs on or off the UC Berkeley campus. The School of Optometry has excellent clinical facilities and a large, diverse patient population. Over 85,000 patients are seen annually. About 65 optometry students are graduated annually.
At the time of application candidates must have an OD degree from an Accreditation Council on Optometric Education accredited institution. Candidates must be licensed in the State of California by the start date and maintain active licensure throughout their term of employment. Residency training and Clinical teaching experience are preferred but not required. The level of appointment will be determined by the experience of the applicant. Salary is commensurate with experience. To be eligible to work, clinic employees must comply with all UC Berkeley Optometry Clinic annual immunization and medical screening requirements, trainings, and University and School policies.
Applications should include a CV and brief statement related to the educational and teaching experience of the applicant.
