PT Faculty POOL - Artificial Intelligence

Long Beach City College Part-Time Faculty Position

Long Beach City College is seeking qualified part-time faculty to teach in the discipline of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The AI curriculum supports the College's Associate in Science degree in AI for Digital Transformation and its stackable certificate pathways, a Career Technical Education program designed to prepare learners from all backgrounds for an AI-enabled workforce. The program is intentionally no-code/low-code first and ethics-forward.

Coursework emphasizes the applied, workplace-relevant use of artificial intelligence rather than software engineering and is designed to be accessible to students without a computer science background. Instructional areas within the discipline include foundational artificial intelligence and machine learning concepts; generative AI and prompt engineering; conversational and agentic AI systems; multi-modal AI applications spanning text, image, audio, and video; human + AI collaboration and workflow automation;

and applied, project-based capstone instruction. Ethical practice, bias, fairness, privacy, transparency, accessibility, and human oversight are embedded throughout the curriculum rather than treated as a separate topic. Faculty in this area may be assigned to teach courses that serve both career technical education and transfer pathways, preparing students for the evolving demands of the workplace and for industry-recognized credentials. Instruction may be delivered in in-person, hybrid, or online modalities, and teaching assignments may vary by campus location and scheduling needs.

The ideal candidate demonstrates a strong commitment to equity-minded pedagogy, inclusive instructional practices, and student-centered learning within a highly diverse community college setting. The teaching assignment may be at the Liberal Arts Campus, the Trade Technical Campus, or other college teaching locations. The assignment may be day, evening, weekend, online, or off campus and is subject to change as needed.

Part-time faculty positions are as-needed positions and do not accrue rights to tenure. Part-time faculty positions offer flexible hours and the opportunity to assist a diverse group of adult students in achieving their educational goals.

As one of the most diverse community college districts in Southern California, we offer a wide range of opportunities in transfer, general education, vocational, and occupational programs.

• Provide instruction in assigned Artificial Intelligence courses in accordance with the approved Course Outline of Record, established course objectives, and student learning outcomes.
