      Comments:

      The Program in Computing (PIC) is a program within the UCLA
Department of Mathematics whose purpose is to teach computing to
undergraduates in the College of Letters and Science. It is distinct from
the Computer Science Department in the UCLA School of Engineering and
Applied Science, which has graduate degree programs as well as
undergraduate majors. See the PIC offerings this year.

      PIC currently has eight full and two part time faculty, all Adjunct
Assistant Professors. The number of open positions is generally one to
three per year.

      Applicants who do have a documentable record of successful teaching,
as reflected in student comments or other forms of evaluation, should try
to ensure that some of this documentation forms part of their application,
whether communicated directly or included with the letter of a
recommender.

      Applicants whose recommenders are in Computer Science departments
should inform them that the custom in Mathematics is to have letters of
recommendation sent without waiting for a request from the department
offering the position. If this is a problem in your case, contact the
Director of the Program in Computing, to have the recommendations
requested.
