DEPARTMENT: Family and Consumer Sciences
POSITION TITLE:Lecturer Pool – FACS Education Pre-Credential Single Subject Program
POSITION DETAILS:The Department of Family and Consumer Sciences seeks qualified instructors for courses in theFACS Education Pre-Credential Single Subject Program.
We are interested in instructors with a credential in Home Economics/Family and Consumer Sciences to prepare the next generation of FCS instructors in the process of completing their own teaching credentials. Optimally, we are looking for people with experience teaching at the secondary level or post-secondary level, and engaged in, or with knowledge of, FCCLA (Family Career and Community Leaders of America) programing. In addition to the Department's pragmatic foci of Fashion Merchandising and Management, Family Studies and Human Development, instructional areas in the pre-credential include Family Finance, Family Resource Management and Career Preparation.
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.
Rank and 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 **, 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,** (3 units out of a possible 15 units total) = $*** checks = $6,**** total for 3 units/semester.
