Position Details

The Department of Economics and Statistics 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 2026‑2027 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.

Minimum Qualifications

• Applicants considered for temporary positions must have at minimum a Master’s degree in Economics or Statistics from an accredited university.
• Applicants must also show evidence of continuous employment in a field related to the courses they will be teaching.
• Applicants should have the ability to relate well to others within the academic environment and demonstrate ability and/or interest in working in a multiethnic, multicultural environment.
• Demonstrated experience and commitment to student‑centered learning and teaching.
• Demonstrated proficiency in written and oral use of the English language is required.

Preferred Qualifications

• Preference will be given to those with experience in working with diverse populations and fostering a collaborative, supportive and inclusive environment.
• Preference will also be given to those with relevant work experience and training.

Duties

• 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.
• Hired faculty will teach Principles of Microeconomics, Principles of Macroeconomics, and undergraduate Statistics.
• The successful candidate will be committed to the academic success of all our students and to an environment that acknowledges, encourages, and celebrates diversity and differences. The successful candidate will work effectively, respectfully, and collaboratively in diverse, multicultural, and inclusive settings. In addition, the successful candidate will be ready to join faculty, staff, students, and administrators in our University’s shared commitment to the principles of engagement, service, and the public good.
