These temporary roles may vary in terms of commitment, with opportunities for both full-time and part-time positions.

  • Cover letter (for new applicants)
  • Unofficial transcripts (for new applicants)

The initial rank and compensation for lecturer positions will be determined based on professional experience and educational qualifications, as assessed by the hiring department. Most new hires begin at either Lecturer A or B level, typically positioned at the lower end of the salary range.

Individuals in this role are recognized as mandated reporters under the California Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act and must comply with the guidelines established in CSU Executive Order 1083.

A comprehensive background check, including a review of criminal records, is a prerequisite before an offer can be made. Failure to pass this check may affect an applicant's eligibility or the ongoing employment of current CSU staff applying for the position.

SDSU is dedicated to being a Title IX compliant, equal opportunity employer, fostering diversity and prohibiting discrimination based on various factors, including race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, age, disability, pregnancy, medical condition, and veteran status.
