26-27 Ay Temporary Faculty Pool (Lecturer) - Construction Management

The Department of Construction Management is a team of interdisciplinary faculty and staff committed to educating future professionals in the construction industry. The Construction Management Department provides many opportunities for those interested in pursuing a career in this field. The options we have for our students include:
Major in Construction Management;
Minor in Construction Management;
Major in Architectural Studies;
Master of Science in Construction Management;
Professional Development Program.

The successful candidate is expected to teach a broad range of courses in construction management at both graduate and undergraduate levels. We are especially interested in candidates with a strong teaching interest in, but not limited to, building materials and methods, construction graphics, cost estimating, planning and scheduling, construction safety, design-build project delivery, project controls, and preconstruction services.

Candidates with a specialty in generative design, lean construction, BIM, robotics, and automation, as well as data sciences in construction are strongly encouraged to apply.

Other responsibilities may include student advising and supervision; working with a diverse community of students and faculty.

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 are responsible for the preparation, delivery, conducting, proctoring, and grading (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).

An 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. These provisions state the "Order of Work," or the order in which available courses must be assigned to faculty, starting with tenure line faculty and ending with new lecturer appointees.

Appointees will be required to demonstrate eligibility to work in the United States. California State University, Fresno does not sponsor Temporary Faculty for work visas.

Compensation is 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). The salary range for Temporary Faculty with a Master's degree 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 an academic term.

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 will remain in place for two academic terms; those interested in remaining in the pool beyond that time must reapply.
