    DEPARTMENT: Art

    POSITION TITLE: 2024-25 AY Lecturer Pool - Art

    POSITION DETAILS:

    The Department of Art is housed in the College of Arts and Letters. At the undergraduate level, it offers a BFA degree in Studio Art, and BA degrees in Art Studio, Art History, and Art Education (Single Subject Pre-Credential Preparation) in Art for grades K-12. At the graduate level, it offers an MFA degree in Studio Art. The Art Department is accredited by the National Association of Art and Design (NASAD).

    Job duties for specific areas of I) Art Education; II) Art History; and III) Studio Art are as follows:
    Art Education: Teach undergraduate classes in Art Education for children and Secondary Art Education, all with content conforming to national and California visual art standards. Art History: Teach undergraduate classes in Western and non-Western art, art criticism, and visual culture from pre-history to the present. Studio Art: Teach undergraduate classes in art and visual culture, ceramics, drawing & painting, new media art, printmaking, and sculpture.
    The listing of courses provides course descriptions for the courses in the department. The semester schedule is available at https://www.csus.edu/student-life/class-schedules/ .

    The duties of a part-time lecturer include instruction, class preparation, grading, Canvas course management, and office hours (per campus office hour policy). 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.
