Academic Coordinator titles are for appointees who administer academic programs that provide service closely related to the teaching or research mission of the University. The Academic Coordinator provides service to the campus' Nutrition Department related to accredited programs, for example, serving as liaison between the Department and the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND), and works closely or jointly with faculty.
An appointee in the Academic Coordinator title series is not provided automatic Principal Investigator status. This position serves in the Department of Nutrition as the Assistant Director of the Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD), which is embedded within the Clinical Nutrition major at UC Davis.
An Academic Coordinator is primarily an administrative position. Any contributions to teaching would be considered part of the University and Public Service and evaluated as part of service. An Academic Coordinator is not a faculty title and as such is not eligible to be an Instructor of Record. Appointees in the Academic Coordinator title series cannot be independently responsible for conducting regular courses but may provide a guest lecture in their area of expertise.
