Description

The School of Art and Design in the College of Professional Studies and Fine Arts at San Diego State University is accepting applications for their part-time lecturer pool for Art, Design, and Art History.

Initial appointments are typically one semester or one academic year, to be renewed contingent on satisfactory evaluations and continuing availability of work.

Applications will remain in our applicant pool during the academic year you apply.
