THE COLLEGE OF BUSINESS IS COMPRISED OF SIX (6) DEPARTMENTS. EACH DEPARTMENT IS UNIQUE, SO YOU MUST APPLY TO THE DEPARTMENT IN WHICH YOU WISH TO WORK, TO BE CONSIDERED FOR EMPLOYMENT IN THAT DEPARTMENT. APPLYING TO (1) ONE DEPARTMENT ONLY GRANTS YOU CONSIDERATION FOR EMPLOYMENT IN THAT DEPARTMENT. NOT THE OTHERS.

DEPARTMENT: Strategy & Entrepreneurship

POSITION TITLE: 2025-26 AY Lecturer Pool - Strategy & Entrepreneurship

POSITION DETAILS:

The Department of Strategy & Entrepreneurship seeks part-time lecturers to teach courses in Entrepreneurship, International Business, and Strategic Management in the BS/BA and MBA programs.

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.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• MBA or equivalent, or JD for law related courses.
• Availability to teach and hold office hours face-to-face. Office hours = 45min/wk. per 3-unit course.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:

• Degree received from an AACSB accredited institution
• Five years related work experience

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.

APPLICANT INSTRUCTIONS

Applications for the 2025-26 academic year (AY) must be received by February 3, 2025 for priority review. Applications received after that date will be held for consideration as needed.
