Temporary Faculty Pool - Lecturer in Recreation, Parks, and Tourism. The Department of Recreation Administration provides five option areas with a BS in Recreation Administration. The department has strong programs in community and youth, special events and tourism, outdoor recreation, recreation therapy and sport and entertainment facility management. The department is committed to community engagement. The Department of Recreation Administration is one of seven departments in the College of Health and Human Services.

The College is recognized for offering students a wide array of experiences to help young professionals embark on successful careers and provides opportunities for alumni to stay connected to their alma mater.

The successful applicant may teach recreation, tourism, outdoor recreation, special event, sport and entertainment facility management courses. The department seeks qualified candidate(s) to teach undergraduate courses such as:

• RA 117 (Special Events and Tourism)
• RA 131 (Foundations of Special Events and Tourism)
• Or other classes that may be identified as needed to fulfill educational goals of current students.

Temporary faculty members are responsible for adherence to and implementation of university and system-wide policies as directed per Academic Policy Manual 306, paragraph
2. Instructors are responsible for the preparation, delivery, conducting, proctoring, and grading (as appropriate) lectures, office hours, homework assignments, quizzes, class projects, and midterm and final exams. All classes must be offered and meet as scheduled throughout the entire semester, in the mode assigned and listed in the schedule of classes (i.e. asynchronous, synchronous, in-person, or hybrid).

Please be advised that an appointment is contingent upon budget and enrollment considerations and subject to order of assignment provisions in the collective bargaining agreement between California State University and California Faculty Association. These provisions state the "Order of Work," or the order in which available courses must be assigned to faculty, starting with tenure line faculty and ending with new lecturer appointees.

Appointees will be required to demonstrate eligibility to work in the United States (Fresno State is not a sponsoring agency for Temporary Faculty positions).

Commensurate by qualifications and experience within salary range placement. The salary ranges are established by the CSU Salary Schedule (Class Code = 2358 for Academic Year Lecturers). The salary range for Temporary Faculty with a Master's degree is $5,507-6,677 per month when teaching full time (15 WTUs). Starting salaries are usually at or near the minimum of the range. Actual monthly salary will be adjusted based on the number of WTUs assigned per an academic term.

The temporary faculty pool is continuously open, and positions are filled as needed, based on student enrollment and funding. This is a pool of part-time lecturers for the department to draw on as necessary. The number of positions varies from semester to semester, depending on the needs of the Department. Appointments from the pool are temporary and often made just prior to the start of the academic term.

Applicants may need to be available to begin teaching on short notice. The pool will remain in place for two academic terms; those interested in remaining in the pool beyond that time must reapply.
