    DEPARTMENT: Ethnic Studies

    POSITION TITLE: Lecturer Pool - Ethnic Studies Department

    POSITION DETAILS:

    The Ethnic Studies Department has been in existence for more than 50 years at Sacramento State. The Department is a degree-granting interdisciplinary program. Ethnic Studies is comprised of the following concentrations: Asian American Studies, Chicanx/Latinx Studies, General Ethnic Studies, Native American Studies, Pan African Studies, and Teachers in Urban Settings or Teachers in Bilingual Education.

    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 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 x 3/15 (3 units out of a possible 15 units total) = $1101.40 x 6 checks = $6,608.40 total for 3 units/semester.

    REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

    M.A. in Ethnic Studies or related discipline with Ethnic Studies training.

    PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:
    • Ph.D. in Ethnic Studies or in related discipline with training and/or teaching experience in Ethnic Studies.
    • Teaching experience in person or online.
