To address these issues, effective time management and clear communication with both students and faculty are key. Leveraging digital resources, collaborating with full-time staff, and engaging in regular professional development can also help ensure high-quality instruction and student engagement.

POSITION TITLE: Lecturer Pool - Hospitality and Tourism Management

POSITION DETAILS: 

Hospitality and tourism are among California's fastest-growing and most influential industries, offering diverse career opportunities across local, national, and global contexts while contributing to economic development, community vitality, and quality of life. Health and wellness tourism is a rapidly growing sector in the industry.

The Hospitality and Tourism Management (HTM) program, housed within the Department of Public Health, seeks part-time lecturers to teach courses in our BS and Minor in Hospitality and Tourism Management degrees.

In particular, we are looking for faculty with experience and expertise is: 

  • Hospitality administration
  • Human resources management
  • Hospitality and tourism law
  • Conference and meeting planning
  • Health, wellness, and medical tourism and hospitality

Instructors are sought for morning, afternoon, and evening class schedules, delivered via online, hybrid, and in-person instruction. 

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 "fulltime 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 prorated 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.
