2026-27 AY Lecturer Pool - Social Science Program

CSU Careers • Sacramento, CA

8d • Onsite

About The Position

The Social Science program draws from perspectives and methodologies from the following core academic disciplines: Economics, Geography, History, and Political Science. Its courses engage students in learning opportunities through seminars and faculty-supervised independent learning activities. Duties of a part-time lecturer include 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 Program Director under the direction of the College Dean. 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. Often appointments are made just prior to the start of the semester.
