Division of Professional Studies Imperial Valley Lecturer Pool

Division of Professional Studies at SDSU Imperial Valley is accepting applications for the  part-time lecturer pool. SDSU Imperial Valley is a college and branch campus within San Diego State University, located approximately 120 miles from the San Diego main campus on the border with Mexico.

We welcome applications from prospective temporary faculty with expertise or experience in Criminal Justice, Public Administration, Public Health, Sociology, and related fields. All current and former SDSU Imperial Valley lecturers must submit a new application every academic year to be considered for classes. The application period is from the Spring through the Summer before the Fall semester of the academic year and is valid through the Spring semester of the following year.

Temporary appointments may be either full‑ or part‑time. Part‑time appointments are often made just prior to the start of the term, so applicants must be available on very short notice. Fall term begins mid‑August and ends late‑December;
Spring term begins mid‑January and ends mid‑May. Opportunities for teaching during the Summer Sessions may also be available.

Initial appointments are typically one semester or one academic year, to be renewed contingent on satisfactory evaluations and continued availability of work. Applications will remain in our applicant pool during the academic year you apply.

• Graduate degree (PhD, Doctorate, or Master’s) in City Planning, Criminal Justice, Emergency Management, Homeland Security, Law, Political Science, Public Administration, Public Health, Public Policy, Sociology, or Urban Studies.

• Ability to teach in the assigned modality.

• Curriculum Vitae.
• Contact information for three (3) professional references (new employees only).

Initial rank and salary for lecturer faculty are based on professional experience and educational background and are determined by the hiring department. Most new appointees are hired at the Lecturer A or B rank and placed at the beginning of the range.

As of July 2024, the classification salary ranges for the respective ranks are:
