Having "UCLA professor of X" on a CV looks way better than having nothing.

Keep things in perspective: there are people who pay large sums of money to go on boot camps so that they can have a line on their CV that can open doors.

postretirement I'd be more than happy to have a non-tenure track position with an office on campus and access to some campus resources at one of my neighboring universities. I would not ask for compensation.

On top of that they are looking for Ph.D candidate.

No, you're not reading that right. It states "Qualified candidates will have a Ph.D. in chemistry, biochemistry, or equivalent discipline and have significant experience and strong record in teaching chemistry or biochemistry at the college level."
