Overview

DEPARTMENT:
Family and Consumer Sciences

POSITION TITLE:

Lecturer Pool – Family Studies and Human Development

POSITION DETAILS:
The Department of Family and Consumer Sciences seeks qualified instructors for courses in the Family Studies and Human Development major. We seek instructors from various human service fields with an emphasis on an asset-based approach to understanding lifespan human development, family systems, and family diversity in cultural context. Familiarity and/or membership with the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR), Family Life Education, and/or Child Life Specialist, and/or Family Finance is favored.

• Instruction of courses as assigned by the Department Chair under the direction of the College Dean.
• Course preparation, grading, and maintaining office hours.
• Other duties may be assigned based on departmental needs.
• Course assignments, including dates, time, and modality, are determined by the Department Chair.

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 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.

Initial rank and salary for lecturer faculty 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:

• Lecturer A: $5,507 - $6,677
• Lecturer B: $6,221 ‐ $13,224
• Lecturer C: $6,825 ‐ $14,523
• Lecturer D: $8,593 ‐ $15,211

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. For example, a Lecturer A assigned 3 units at the minimum salary would be $5,507 x 3/15, paid in six checks, totaling $6,608.40 for 3 units/semester.

Required Qualifications: Master’s degree in Family Studies or Human Development and/or related field
