About The Position

The Department of Art at California State University, Stanislaus is establishing an ongoing pool of part-time lecturers in studio art to address instructional needs during Fall and Spring semesters. Openings depend on need and funding, which are assessed term by term and may be determined shortly before a term begins. Applicants must therefore be available on short notice. The pool covers Foundation Level studio areas including sculpture, drawing, painting, digital media, and printmaking. Applicants must hold an MFA in visual arts, such as drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, video and time-based media, and/or graphic design. Two years of college-level teaching experience is preferred. Applications are accepted throughout the year, and consideration begins when complete application materials are submitted and work samples are available. Compensation is based on qualifications and experience. Newly hired lecturers with terminal degrees are placed in Range 3 of the salary schedule; others are normally placed in Range 2. Starting salaries are usually at or near the range minimum. Full-time monthly base salary figures are prorated according to assigned units; payments for a full semester are made in six monthly installments. The position is part-time. The university requires satisfactory completion of a criminal and/or child abuse background check for employment. The person holding the position is a mandated reporter under the California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act.
