Instructional Faculty – Part‑time Temporary/Lecturer Pool

The Management Department in the College of Business and Economics at Cal State LA is seeking applications for a pool of part‑time faculty lecturers. Positions will be filled as needed for each academic semester of the 2026‑2027 academic year. Hires from the pool of applicants are made when there are instructional needs to cover coursework based on 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 a full academic year is offered. Appointments may be renewed based on departmental needs, funding, and performance. Often appointments are made just before the semester starts, so some faculty lecturers may need to be available on very short notice.

Minimum Qualifications

An MBA or M.S. degree in a management‑related field from an accredited institution of higher education is required at the time of employment. Industry or relevant professional experience is essential. A commitment to staying current in the field through ongoing professional practice is required for continued employment. Candidates should demonstrate an ability or interest in teaching in a multicultural, multiethnic campus and have prior teaching experience with evidence of high teaching effectiveness.

Applicants should have the ability to relate well to others within the academic environment and demonstrate an interest in working in a multiethnic, multicultural setting. Demonstrated experience and commitment to student‑centered learning and teaching is required. 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, and to those with relevant work experience and training. An appropriate doctoral or terminal degree is preferred.

Duties

Duties of part‑time faculty lecturers include instruction, class preparation, grading, office hours, and other duties as 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.

The successful candidate will be committed to the academic success of all students and to an environment that acknowledges, encourages, and celebrates diversity. The candidate will work effectively, respectfully, and collaboratively in diverse, multicultural, and inclusive settings, contributing to the University’s shared commitment to engagement, service, and the public good.

Salary

Initial salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience. The salary schedule for faculty lecturers is as follows (per schedule 7/1/2024):

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