Overview
DEPARTMENT: Mechanical Engineering POSITION TITLE: Lecturer Pool – Mechanical Engineering POSITION DETAILS: The Mechanical Engineering department has 14 full-time faculty members who serve more than 900 undergraduate students and more than 60 graduate students. The department offers Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degree programs in Mechanical Engineering. These programs emphasize practical applications of engineering principles in the areas of design, manufacturing, materials science, aerospace, energy, and thermal sciences. The Mechanical Engineering Department invites applications for lecturers in all areas, for lower division, upper division and graduate courses. Position responsibilities
Duties of a part-time lecturer include instruction, class preparation, grading, and office hours. 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) = 1,101.40 x 6 checks = 6,608.40 total for 3 units/semester.
