2026-27 AY Lecturer Pool - Public Health

Department of Public Health

The Public Health Department in the Rongxiang Xu College of Health and Human Services at Cal State LA is seeking applications for a pool of part‑time faculty lecturers with positions available as determined by need during the 2026‑2027 academic year. Positions will be filled as needed for each academic semester. Part‑time faculty lecturers are hired 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 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 so some faculty lecturers may need to be available on very short notice.

• Candidate must have an appropriate degree from an accredited university and experience and demonstrated excellence in college‑level teaching. A bachelor’s degree with substantial professional experience is required for lower division undergraduate courses; a master’s degree for upper division courses; and a master’s or doctoral degree for graduate courses.
• Applicants should have the ability to relate well to others within an academic environment and demonstrate an ability and/or interest in working in a multiethnic, multicultural environment.
• Demonstrated experience and commitment to student‑centered learning and teaching.
• Proficiency in written and oral use of the English language.

• Experience working with diverse populations and fostering a collaborative, supportive and inclusive environment.
• Relevant work experience and training.
• Appropriate doctoral or terminal degree.

Duties of part‑time faculty lecturers 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. The successful candidate will be committed to the academic success of all our students and to an environment that acknowledges, encourages, and celebrates diversity and differences.

The candidate will work effectively, respectfully, and collaboratively in diverse, multicultural, and inclusive settings and will join faculty, staff, students and administrators in the university’s shared commitment to the principles of engagement, service, and the public good.
