Department of Public Administration Part-time Lecturer Pool
About The Position
The Department of Public Administration at California State University, San Bernardino is hiring part-time instructors to teach in its NASPAA-accredited Master of Public Administration program and Bachelor of Arts in Public Service program. The department seeks both public service practitioners and academics to teach and mentor the next generation of public service leaders. Applicants should review the department’s course offerings and identify courses they are qualified to teach. MPA courses are taught online using Canvas and Zoom. Approximately 75% of courses are synchronous, typically Monday through Thursday from 7:00 PM to 9:45 PM; the remaining courses are asynchronous. Faculty teaching asynchronously must work with the University’s online course development staff to create a high-quality course shell before the course is offered. The MPA offers concentrations in Leadership, Public Financial Management, Non-Profit Management, Human Resource Management, Cybersecurity, and Community Planning and Management, as well as a concurrent degree with the Master of Social Work. The department also operates a California County Cohort program. Current instructional needs include Labor Relations and Procurement, Emergency Management, and undergraduate courses such as Introduction to Public Administration and Society, Business and Global Governance. Successful candidates will demonstrate commitment to excellent teaching and mentoring of a diverse student population, and effective collaboration with students, staff, and colleagues. Faculty participation in department meetings and events, graduation, and student mentoring is welcome but not expected. Applicants must be California residents at the time of appointment. The position is subject to background-check requirements, and the incumbent is a mandated reporter under California law.
