DEPARTMENT:

POSITION TITLE:

Lecturer Pool – Environmental Studies POSITION DETAILS

We are seeking qualified and experienced instructors to teach lower and upper division Environmental Studies/Science courses particularly in the following subject areas:

• Introduction to Environmental Science (ENVS 10)
• Environmental Issues and Critical Thinking (ENVS 11)
• International Environmental Issues (ENVS 112 – writing intensive)
• Quantitative Methods in Environmental Science (ENVS 120)
• Environmental Impact Analysis: CEQA and NEPA (ENVS 122)

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.

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, if you were a Lecturer A assigned 3 units at the minimum salary, your pay would be structured as follows: $5,507 × 3/15 = $1101.40 × 6 checks = $6,608.40 total for 3 units/semester.

Master’s degree in Environmental Studies, Environmental Science or related field.

Previous college‑level teaching experience and evidence of teaching effectiveness, as well as experience with undergraduate student research supervision are preferred.
