POSITION AVAILABLE: One or more temporary, part-time lecturers for a pool from which instructors will be considered for appointments as they become available for Fall Semester 2026 and/or Spring 2027.

THE DEPARTMENT: The Department of Earth, Environmental and Sustainability Sciences (EESC) offers degrees in Environmental Science (BS), Environmental Studies (BA), Geography (BS), Geology (BS), and Environmental Geosciences (MS). In addition to courses for our EESC majors, the department offers general education courses. Many classes include laboratory- and field-based activities. The total number of majors in all department programs is approximately 100. Department facilities include three lab classrooms, a student computer lab, and shared laboratory space. The department maintains rock and mineral collections and other supplies for laboratory sections. As of Fall 2026, the department has six tenure-track faculty, eight part-time faculty, an office manager, and an instructional support technician.

DUTIES OF THE POSITION: Part-time positions teaching introductory courses in Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, Geography and Geology.

Opportunities may occasionally arise for teaching evening graduate classes in applied fields such as Engineering Geology.

The policy and expectation of the California State University is that all faculty members will perform all of their duties within the state of California.
