Applicants must be available on very short notice, as appointments are made just prior to the academic term. The position requires mandatory reporting under the California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act and compliance with CSU Executive Order 1083. A satisfactory background check is required, and re‑hire after a 12‑month break requires a new background check.

All appointments are for one semester only. Classification range is $5,507 – $6,677 per month; anticipated hiring range (not to exceed $6,221 per month) depends on qualifications. Compensation is prorated to units worked and paid in six monthly payments per semester.

Part‑time faculty are needed most strongly in Fall and Spring semesters. Fall term: late August – mid‑December. Spring term: mid‑January – end of May. Summer session appointments occur only on rare occasions.
