Position Details

College: Business and Economics
Position Title: 2026‑27 AY Lecturer Pool – Information Systems
Department: Information Systems
Instructional Faculty – Part-time Temporary/Lecturer Pool
Part‑time faculty lecturers are hired with conditional appointments based on enrollment and budget. Hires from the pool 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

• Master’s degree in information systems or a closely related computing field or an MBA with a concentration in Information Systems from an accredited university.
• Industry experience or teaching experience.
• Ability to relate well to others within an academic environment and demonstrate interest in working in a multi‑ethnic, multicultural environment.
• Demonstrated experience and commitment to student‑centered learning and teaching.
• Proficiency in written and oral use of the English language.

Preferred Qualifications

• 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.

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.
• Teaching courses in Cybersecurity, Data Analytics, Big Data, Computer Networks, Computer Hardware and Software, Programming, Information Systems Consulting, and Management Information Systems.

Salary

• Lecturer A/2: $5,507 – $6,677 per month.
• Lecturer B/3: $6,221 – $13,224 per month.
• Lecturer C/4: $6,825 – $14,523 per month.

• A narrative statement describing commitment to working effectively with faculty, staff, and students in a multicultural/multi‑ethnic urban campus environment.
• An updated curriculum vitae.
• List of CSU courses previously taught, and/or courses or topic areas qualified to teach in the upcoming academic year.
• Unofficial transcripts.

Background Check

A background check, including a criminal records check, must be satisfactorily completed. Offers of employment are conditional and may be rescinded if the background check reveals disqualifying information, and/or if it is discovered that the candidate knowingly withheld or falsified information. Failure to satisfactorily complete the background check may affect the continued employment of a current CSU employee who was conditionally offered the position.

Applicants must disclose whether they have received a final administrative decision or final judicial decision determining that they have committed sexual harassment within the last seven years only after a determination is made that they meet the minimum qualifications for the position, and before an offer of employment is extended.
