Instructional Faculty – Part-time Temporary/Lecturer Pool

The Pan African Studies Department in the College of Ethnic Studies 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.

• Instruction, class preparation, grading, and office hours.
• Other 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.
• Commitment to the academic success of all students and to an environment that acknowledges, encourages, and celebrates diversity and differences.
• Work effectively, respectfully, and collaboratively in diverse, multicultural, and inclusive settings.
• Join faculty, staff, students, and administrators in the University’s shared commitment to the principles of engagement, service, and the public good.

• Candidate must have an appropriate degree from an accredited university (bachelor’s degree and substantial teaching experience for lower‑division courses; master’s degree for upper‑division undergraduate courses; doctoral degree, or master’s degree and substantial teaching experience for graduate courses).
• Demonstrated excellence in teaching at a college level.
• 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 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.

Initial salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience. Salary schedule information for the faculty lecturer (Academic Year‑month Classification) is available based on the following ranges (per salary schedule 7/1/2024):

• Lecturer A/2 Full‑time equivalent Salary Range: $5,507 – $6,677

• Lecturer C/4 Full‑time equivalent Salary Range: $6,825 – $14,523
• Lecturer D/5 Full‑time equivalent Salary Range: $8,593 – $15,211

The 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.
