Lifetime Physical Activity (LPA) Instructor (Faculty Wage)

The School of Education and Human Development at the University of Virginia (UVA) seeks applicants to teach one-credit academic courses in the Lifetime Physical Activity (LPA) program in the Department of Kinesiology for the Spring 2025 semester. Sports and activities (likely) in need of instructors include, but are not limited to:

• Pickleball
• Soccer
• Badminton
• Cross training & conditioning
• Mindfulness

Courses are primarily scheduled during the day in alignment with UVA's academic schedule. These are not group fitness classes, but academic courses aimed at providing undergraduate students a progression of knowledge and skill to be life-long movers.

Preference will be given to full-time enrolled UVA graduate and doctoral students, but we welcome anyone who is qualified to apply. Valid CPR/First Aid certification is strongly preferred; some classes will require the Instructor to be certified in the physical activity discipline.

To apply, please submit an application online through https://jobs.virginia.edu/ and attach a cover letter, resume/curriculum vitae, and contact information (email and phone) for three references. Search on requisition number R0067863.

The screening of applicants will begin on December 23, 2024. Positions will be filled on an on-going basis according to curriculum needs.
