University Professor, Academic, Education Administration, College Lecturer
2026-27 AY Lecturer Pool - Graduate and Professional Studies in Education
The Department of Graduate and Professional Studies in Education (GPSE) inspires the highest standards in academics by offering a range of degree programs. GPSE members assert that key elements to this environment are excellence in teaching, experience, and scholarship, each informing the other. The branch is committed to advancing the campus-wide commitment to antiracism and inclusion. As an anchor institution within the diverse Sacramento region, we prepare individuals to be agents of change, committed to social justice, equity, and inclusion in culturally and linguistically diverse schools and communities.
We seek part-time lecturers to serve in the following areas:
Educational Leadership and Policy Studies, School Psychology, Counseling Programs, Multicultural Education, Gender Equity, Language and Literacy, Curriculum and 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.
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. 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.
