Department of Theatre and Dance

The Theatre and Dance Department in the College of Arts & Letters at Cal State LA is seeking applications for a pool of part-time faculty lecturers with positions available as determined by need during the 2024-2025 academic year.

Positions will be filled as needed for each academic semester.

Part-time faculty lecturers are hired 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 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 so some faculty lecturers may need to be available on very short notice.

master’s degree for upper division undergraduate courses; doctoral degree, or master’s degree and substantial teaching experience for graduate courses).

Demonstrated excellence in teaching at a college level.

Applicants should have the ability to relate well to others within the academic environment and demonstrate ability and / or interest in working in a multiethnic, multicultural environment.

Demonstrated experience and commitment to student-centered learning and teaching. Demonstrated proficiency in written and oral use of the English language is required.

Duties :

Duties of part-time faculty lecturers 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.

The successful candidate will be committed to the academic success of all our students and to an environment that acknowledges, encourages, and celebrates diversity and differences.

To this end, the successful candidate will work effectively, respectfully, and collaboratively in diverse, multicultural, and inclusive settings.

Application :

Deadline : For full consideration, complete applications must be submitted by April 15, 2024. Applications received after the deadline may be considered.

Please address all questions to the department chair Meredith Greenburg at : [email protected].

Note : The person holding this position is considered a "mandated reporter" under the California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act and is required to comply with the requirements set forth in CSU Executive Order 1083 as a condition of employment.

A background check (including a criminal records check) must be completed satisfactorily before any candidate can be offered a position with the CSU.

Failure to satisfactorily complete the background check may affect the application status of applicants or continued employment of current CSU employees who apply for the position.
