California State University is hiring: School of Art and Design Lecturer Pool 20

Description

The School of Art and Design in the College of Professional Studies and Fine Arts at San Diego State University is accepting applications for their part-time lecturer pool for Art, Design, and Art History.

We welcome applications from prospective temporary faculty with expertise or experience in the following areas:

Art Education, Art History, Foundations (Drawing, 2D Design, 3D Design), Ceramics, Furniture Design and Woodworking, Jewelry and Metalwork, Painting, Printmaking and Book Arts, Photography, Sculpture, Graphic Design, Interior Architecture, and Multimedia.

Temporary appointments may be either full-time or part-time. Appointments from the part-time pool are often made just prior to the start of the academic term, so applicants must be available on very short notice. The Fall term begins mid-August and ends late-December; the Spring term begins mid-January and ends mid-May. Opportunities for teaching during the Summer Sessions may also be available. Initial appointments are typically one semester or one academic year, to be renewed contingent on satisfactory evaluations and continuing availability of work. Applications will remain in our applicant pool during the academic year you apply.
