Position Title: Part-time Temporary Lecturer in Information Systems

Department of Information Systems, Instructional Faculty – Part-time Temporary/Lecturer Pool

The Information Department in the College of Business and Economics at Cal State LA is seeking applications for a pool of part-time faculty lecturers with positions available as determined by need during the  academic year. Positions will be filled as needed for each academic semester.

Part‑time faculty lecturers are hired with conditional appointments based on enrollment and budget. Hires from the pool of applicants are made when there are instructional needs to fill coursework offered by an academic department based on changing enrollment patterns, changes to tenure‑track faculty assignments, and other factors that cannot be addressed with existing faculty. Initial appointments are typically for one semester, but occasionally, academic‑year initial appointments are made.

Appointments may be renewed based on department needs, funding, and performance. Often, appointments are made just prior to the start of the semester, so some faculty lecturers may need to be available on very short notice.

• Master's degree in information systems or a closely related computing field, or an MBA with a concentration in Information Systems.
• Current work experience in the field or demonstrated professional currency in the field.
• Ability to relate well to others within the academic environment and demonstrate interest in working in a multiethnic, multicultural environment.
• Demonstrated experience and commitment to student‑centered learning and teaching.
• Proficiency in the written and oral use of the English language.

• Experience working with diverse populations and fostering a collaborative, supportive and inclusive environment.
• Relevant work experience and training.
• Certification in a sub‑field of Information Systems or Information Technology.

Courses in Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, Software and System Development, ERP Enterprise Systems, Network, and Information Systems Management.

• Instruction, class preparation, grading, and office hours.
• Additional duties may be assigned based on departmental needs.
• Course assignments, including dates, time, and modality, are made by the Department Chair under the direction of the College Dean.

Initial salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience. Salary ranges for faculty lecturers (per the 7/1/2024 salary schedule) are:

• Lecturer A/2 Full‑time equivalent: $5,507 – $6,677
• Lecturer B/3 Full‑time equivalent: $6,221 – $13,224
• Lecturer C/4 Full‑time equivalent: $6,825 – $14,523
• Lecturer D/5 Full‑time equivalent: $8,593 – $15,211

Anticipated monthly hiring range is generally at or near the minimum of the appropriate range, commensurate with qualifications and experience. Most new faculty lecturers are hired at the Lecturer A or B rank.

• A cover letter specifically addressing minimum and preferred qualifications.
• A narrative statement describing your commitment to working effectively with faculty, staff, and students in a multicultural/multiethnic urban campus environment with a substantial population of first‑generation students.
• An updated curriculum vitae.
• A list of CSU courses previously taught, and/or courses or topics qualified for and requesting consideration to teach in the upcoming academic year.
• Official transcripts will be required upon hire offer and prior to employment.
