Instructional Faculty – Part-time Temporary/Lecturer Pool

The Marketing Department 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

• Master’s Degree in a Business‑related field.
• Evidence of professional expertise.
• Ability to relate well to others within the academic environment and demonstrate interest in working in a multiethnic, 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 teaching experience, work experience, and training.

Duties

Duties of part‑time faculty lecturers include instruction, class preparation, grading, and office hours. Other duties may be assigned based on departmental needs. Course assignments, including dates, times, and modalities, are made by the Department Chair under the direction of the College Dean.

Classes Needed

All classes within the Marketing Department, including Bus 1010 and Bus 4150.

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

Salary Information

Initial Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience. Salary schedule: Academic Year‑month Classification (per schedule 7/1/2024)

Lecturer A/2 Full‑time equivalent Salary Range: $5,507 - $6,677
Lecturer B/3 Full‑time equivalent Salary Range: $6,221 - $13,224
Lecturer C/4 Full‑time equivalent Salary Range: $6,825 - $14,523
