Description
The School of Public Affairs in the College of Professional Studies and Fine Arts at San Diego State University is accepting applications for their part-time lecturer pool.

We welcome applications from prospective temporary faculty with expertise or experience in the following areas:

• Criminal Justice, Public Administration or City Planning

Temporary appointments may be either full- or part-time. Appointments from the part-time pool are often made just prior to the start of the academic term, so applicants must be available on very short notice. The Fall term begins mid-August and end late-December; the Spring term begins mid-January and ends mid-May. Opportunities for teaching during the Summer Sessions may also be available.

Initial appointments are typically one semester or one academic year, to be renewed contingent on satisfactory evaluations and continuing availability of work. Applications will remain in our applicant pool during the academic year you apply.

• Unofficial transcripts (new employees only)
• List of specific courses (based on the current SDSU catalogue) you are interested and qualified to teach

Initial rank and salary for lecturer faculty are based on professional experience and educational background and are determined by the hiring department. Most new appointees are hired at the Lecturer A or B rank and placed at the beginning of the range.
