IB115 (Introduction to Systems Biology and Medicine)

Undergraduate Course, University of California at Berkeley, Department of Integrative Biology, 2015


IB115 is an upper division undergraduate course to teach undergraduate and graduate students, from diverse biological and physical sciences backgrounds, how to create simple mathematical models to better understanding biological systems. The instructor is responsible for running the computer laboratory classes, grade the exams, and help students with their final project.

Bio 1B (General Biology)

Undergraduate course, University of California at Berkeley, Department of Integrative Biology, 2014-2019


The primary job for instructors in Bio 1B is to lead the laboratory classes. These labs currently cover three major sections: Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Diversity. Exercises include investigations into population genetics, phylogenetic relationships, macroevolution, predator/prey interactions, competition, bioindicators, and structure and function of organisms. BIO 1B is a gateway course to the major field of Integrative Biology that consists of three one-hour lectures and one four- hour combined discussion and lab each week. The class has 48 sections with a maximum of 18 students in each section. Lecturers will be required to lead one discussion and lab per week, create quizzes, grade assignments, attend a Friday instructional meeting, be familiar with lecture, proctor exams, hold office hours and complete other instructional duties as assigned. Senior lecturers mentor new hires and Graduate Student Instructors (GSIs).
