We offer a variety of courses to students including those focusing on various age children (from 0-18), developmental domains (cognitive, social emotional, etc.), contexts of development (families, school environments, etc.), and critical issues (diversity, special education, assessment). We also provide courses in statistics and research methodology.

Typical Activities

Preferred candidates will be expected to meet the traditional requirements of excellence in teaching.

Qualified candidates must demonstrate a commitment to excellence in teaching and to working effectively with faculty, staff and students across a wide range of disciplines.

Minimum Qualifications

Candidates must hold master's degree or Ph.D. in Child Development or related field at time of employment and demonstrate evidence of teaching promise.

Special Conditions

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.

Following a conditional offer of employment, a background check (including a criminal records check) must be completed satisfactorily before any candidate may start work with CSUSB. Failure to satisfactorily complete the background check may result in the withdrawal of the offer of employment. Note: CSUSB cannot deny an applicant a position solely or in part due to a criminal conviction history until it has performed an individualized assessment and linked the relevant conviction history with specific job duties in the position being sought.

Please note: Current employees who are offered positions on campus will be required to undergo a background check for any position where a background check is required by law or that CSUSB has designated as sensitive. Sensitive positions are those requiring heightened scrutiny of individuals holding the position based on potential for harm to children, concerns for the safety and security of people, animals, or property, or heightened risk of financial loss to CSUSB or individuals in the university community.
