Department Summary The Department of History at San Jose State University is a vibrant center of learning for nearly 300 undergraduate and graduate History majors, plus hundreds more undergraduate students enrolled in History survey courses that fulfill General Education and American Institutions graduation requirements. The department has nine full-time tenured or tenure‑track faculty and fourteen part‑time or full‑time lecturers. We offer courses that cover most of the world and all periods of time. We are always looking for qualified History instructors who can teach lower‑division survey courses and occasional upper‑division courses as well.
Brief Description of Duties We are seeking qualified lecturers to teach European and World History courses on a part‑time, temporary basis depending on department needs. Candidates should expect to teach in‑person, on campus.
Responsibilities
Candidates with Europe and/or World History teaching experience at the post-secondary level are preferred.
Candidates must be prepared to teach Europe/World History courses as assigned by the department chair in accordance with course descriptions and General Education requirements.
Candidates must create fully compliant syllabi and other course materials; conduct class sessions as scheduled; meet with students as required; use Canvas and other appropriate instructional technology; attend faculty and college meetings; maintain student records (enrollment, attendance, grades, and assessment); and follow all CSU and SJSU policies and guidelines.
Demonstrate awareness of and address the needs of a student population of great diversity—including age, abilities, cultural background, ethnicity, religion, economic background, primary language, sexual orientation, gender identity, and academic preparation—through inclusive course materials, teaching strategies and advisement.
Faculty shall organize all their classes within the Canvas Learning Management System (LMS), the official LMS provided for the SJSU community. All classes at SJSU, whether online or not, must be anchored in the Canvas platform to ensure faculty‑student connection in a common space as all students are directed to log in to Canvas for online access to their classes. You will have access to this system prior to the semester start date.
