POSITION DETAILS:

Hospitality and tourism are among California’s fastest-growing and most influential industries, offering diverse career opportunities across local, national, and global contexts while contributing to economic development, community vitality, and quality of life. Health and wellness tourism is a rapidly growing sector in the industry.

The Hospitality and Tourism Management (HTM) program, housed within the Department of Public Health, seeks part-time lecturers to teach courses in our BS and Minor in Hospitality and Tourism Management degrees.

Instructors are sought for morning, afternoon, and evening class schedules, delivered via online, hybrid, and in-person instruction.

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.

If you were a Lecturer A assigned 3 units at the minimum salary, your pay would be structured as follows: $5,507 x 3/15 (3 units out of a possible 15 units total) = $1101.40 x 6 checks = $6,608.40 total for 3 units/semester.
