Portuguese - Part-Time Lecturer Pool

The Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at CSU Fullerton invites applications for its Part-Time Lecturer pool in Portuguese to teach lower‑division (100‑ and 200‑level) undergraduate courses in Portuguese.

This is a pool of part‑time lecturers for the department to draw on as necessary. Qualified applicants will be contacted when positions are available.

Appointments from the part‑time pool are temporary and often made just prior to the start of the academic term. Applicants must be available on very short notice.

The need for part‑time faculty is greatest in Fall and Spring semesters. The Fall term begins in late August and ends in mid‑December; the Spring term runs from the middle of January through the end of May. On rare occasions part‑time faculty are needed during one of the Summer Session segments.

Regular performance evaluations of part‑time lecturers are made by the department in accord with the faculty Collective Bargaining Agreement and University Policy Statement 210.070. These evaluations determine which lecturers will be retained for future teaching assignments. In some instances, syllabi, assignments and reading material will be reviewed by the departmental personnel committee.

All part‑time faculty appointments are made as Lecturers, under the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the CSU system and the California Faculty Association. Initial appointments are for one semester only.

• Classification Range: $5,507 – $6,677 per month; anticipated hiring range depending on qualifications, not to exceed $6,221 per month.
• The full‑time (15 units per semester) monthly base salaries indicated above are prorated to the number of units worked and are paid in six monthly payments for each full semester. For a three‑unit assignment, typical starting compensation ranges from $6,608.40 to $7,465.20 per semester.
