2026-27 AY Lecturer Pool - Construction Management

Lecturer Pool – Construction Management

The Construction Management (CM) program at Sacramento State prepares students to enter professional practice immediately upon graduation. The curriculum emphasizes practical, hands‑on learning through laboratories, field experiences, and project‑based coursework. CM graduates are highly recognized and valued by regional employers, and many advance quickly into leadership roles on major construction projects. The program enrolls approximately 550 undergraduate students and offers a Bachelor of Science in Construction Management, as well as a minor in Business Administration.

Duties

• 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.

Appointments

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.

Salary

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 × 3/15 = $1,101.40 per check × 6 checks = $6,608.40 total for 3 units/semester.
