Work Type: Instructional Faculty - Temporary/Lecturer

Location: Central California: Fresno

Categories: Bargaining Unit: Unit 3 - CFA - California Faculty Association, Appointment Type: Temporary, Time Basis: Part Time

Instructor Responsibility

Temporary faculty members are responsible for adherence to and implementation of university and system-wide policies as directed per Academic Policy Manual 306, paragraph 2. Instructors prepare, deliver, conduct, proctor, and grade (as appropriate) lectures, office hours, homework assignments, quizzes, class projects, and midterm and final exams. All classes must be offered and meet as scheduled throughout the entire semester, in the mode assigned and listed in the schedule of classes (i.e., asynchronous, synchronous, in-person, or hybrid).

Conditional Appointment

Appointment is contingent upon budget and enrollment considerations and subject to order of assignment provisions in the collective bargaining agreement between California State University and California Faculty Association. Provisions state the "Order of Work," the order in which available courses must be assigned to faculty, starting with tenure line faculty and ending with new lecturer appointees. Appointees must demonstrate eligibility to work in the United States. Fresno State is not a sponsoring agency for Temporary Faculty positions.

Compensation

Commensurate by qualifications and experience within salary range placement. The salary ranges are established by the CSU Salary Schedule (Class Code = 2358 for Academic Year Lecturers). For Temporary Faculty with a Master's degree, the salary is $5,507–$6,677 per month when teaching full time (15 WTUs). Starting salaries are usually at or near the minimum of the range. Actual monthly salary will be adjusted based on the number of WTUs assigned per academic term.

Anticipated Semester

The temporary faculty pool is continuously open, and positions are filled as needed, based on student enrollment and funding. This is a pool of part-time lecturers for the department to draw on as necessary. The number of positions varies from semester to semester, depending on the needs of the Department. Appointments from the pool are temporary and often made just prior to the start of the academic term. Applicants may need to be available to begin teaching on short notice. The pool remains in place for two academic terms; those interested in remaining beyond that time must re‑apply.
