About The Position

The Civil Engineering Department is seeking qualified candidate(s) to teach undergraduate courses. These may include Engineering Communication and Essentials, Mechanics of Materials Laboratory, Soil Engineering, Soil Engineering Lab, Concrete Laboratory, Engineering Hydraulics Lab, Foundation Design, and Environmental Quality Laboratory, or other classes as needed to fulfill educational goals. Temporary faculty members are responsible for adhering to university and system-wide policies, including preparing, delivering, conducting, proctoring, and grading 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 (asynchronous, synchronous, in-person, or hybrid). Appointments are contingent upon budget and enrollment considerations and subject to the collective bargaining agreement's "Order of Work" provisions. Appointees must demonstrate eligibility to work in the U.S.; the university does not sponsor work visas. Compensation is commensurate with qualifications and experience within the established salary range for Academic Year Lecturers ($5,507-6,677 per month for full-time teaching with a Master's degree). Starting salaries are typically near the minimum. Actual salary depends on the number of Weighted Teaching Units (WTUs) assigned. This is a pool of part-time lecturers for the department to draw on as necessary, with the number of positions varying each semester. Appointments are temporary and may be made just prior to the start of the academic term, requiring availability on short notice. The pool remains open for two academic terms; reapplication is necessary to remain in the pool.
