Position Summary The department seeks qualified candidate(s) to teach undergraduate courses in Deaf Education or other classes identified as needed to fulfill educational goals of current students.
Instructor Responsibilities Temporary faculty members are responsible for adherence to and implementation of university and system-wide policies as directed per Academic Policy Manual 306, paragraph 2. Instructors are accountable for the preparation, delivery, conducting, proctoring, and grading (as appropriate) of lectures, office hours, homework assignments, quizzes, class projects, and midterm and final examinations. All classes must be offered and meet as scheduled throughout the semester, in the mode assigned (asynchronous, synchronous, in‐person, or hybrid).
Conditional Appointment Appointment is contingent upon budget and enrollment considerations and is subject to the order of assignment provisions in the collective bargaining agreement between California State University and California Faculty Association. These provisions state the "Order of Work," or the order in which available courses must be assigned to faculty, starting with tenure‐line faculty and ending with new lecturer appointees. Appointees must demonstrate eligibility to work in the United States (Fresno State is not a sponsoring agency for Temporary Faculty positions).
Compensation Commensurate with qualifications and experience within the salary range placement. The salary ranges are established by the CSU Salary Schedule (Class Code = 2358 for Academic Year Lecturers). For Temporary Faculty with a Master's degree the range is $5,507–6,677 per month when teaching full time (15 WTUs). Starting salaries are usually at or near the minimum of the range. Actual monthly salary will be adjusted based on the number of WTUs assigned per academic term.
