  Part‑time lecturers are instructional faculty 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 our 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.

  Rank and Salary

  Initial rank and salary for lecturer faculty are based on professional experience and educational background and are determined by the hiring department. Most new lecturers are hired at the Lecturer A or B rank. As of July 2024, the classification salary ranges for the respective ranks are:

  • Lecturer A: $5,507 – $6,677
  • Lecturer B: $6,221 – $13,224
  • Lecturer C: $6,825 – $14,523
  • Lecturer D: $8,593 – $15,211

  The salary ranges indicated are based on a “full‑time rate” (15 weighted teaching units [WTUs]). A semester’s worth of compensation is made up of six payments of the given amount. To calculate your salary for a semester, the base rate would be pro‑rated based on the units worked out of 15 WTUs. For example, a Lecturer A assigned 3 units at the minimum salary would be paid $5,507 × (3/15) = $1,101.40 per check, $6,608.40 total for 3 units/semester.

  Master’s or Bachelor’s plus a minimum of five (5) years related professional experience.
