AY Lecturer Pool - Geology

DEPARTMENT:
Geology

POSITION TITLE: Lecturer Pool – Geology

POSITION DETAILS:

The faculty and staff of the CSUS Geology Department are committed to providing the best geological education available anywhere. We meet this commitment through high-quality teaching, close student-faculty interaction, and undergraduate and graduate research. We are seeking qualified applicants to our part-time lecturer pool to teach undergraduate and graduate geology courses in Hydrogeology, Geochemistry, Surficial Processes, Paleontology, and Petrology, as well as general education courses in physical geology, natural disasters, oceanography, and dinosaurs.

Duties of a part-time lecturer include instruction, class preparation, grading, and office hours. Other duties may be assigned based on departmental needs. Course assignments, including dates, time, and modality, are made by the Department Chair under the direction of the College Dean.

Part-time lecturers are instructional faculty with conditional appointments based on enrollment and budget. Hires from the pool of applicants are made when there are instructional needs to fill coursework offered by an academic department based on changing enrollment patterns, changes to tenure-track faculty assignments, and other factors that cannot be addressed with our existing faculty. Initial appointments are typically for one semester, but occasionally academic year initial appointments are made.

Appointments may be renewed based on department needs, funding, and performance. Often appointments are made just prior to the start of the semester.
