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.
DUTIESPart‑time lecturers are responsible for instruction, class preparation, grading, and office hours. Other duties may be assigned based on departmental needs. Course assignments (dates, time, modality) are made by the Department Chair under the direction of the College Dean.
APPROVAL & CONTRACTPart‑time lecturers are instructional faculty with conditional appointments based on enrollment and budget. Hires occur 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. Initial appointments are typically for one semester; occasionally academic‑year initial appointments are made. Appointments may be renewed based on department needs, funding, and performance and are often made just prior to the start of the semester.
RANKAND SALARY
Initial rank and salary are based on professional experience and educational background and are determined by the hiring department. Most new lecturers are hired at the Lecturer A or B rank. As of July 2024, the classification salary ranges for the respective ranks are:
The salary ranges indicated are based on a “full‑time rate” (15 weighted teaching units [WTUs]). A semester’s worth of compensation is made up of six (6) payments of the given amount. To calculate your salary for a semester, the base rate would be pro‑rated based on the units worked out of 15 WTUs. If you were a Lecturer A assigned 3 units at the minimum salary, your pay would be structured as follows: $5,507 × 3/15 = $1,101.40 × 6 checks = $6,608.40 total for 3 units/semester.
