2026-27 AY Lecturer Pool - Management, Information Systems & Business Analytics

Department: Management, Information Systems & Business Analytics

About the role

The Department of Information Systems and Business Analytics seeks part-time lecturers to teach courses in Management Communications, Business Analytics/Statistics, and Management Information Systems in the BS/BA and MBA programs.

Duties include instruction, class preparation, grading, and holding office hours (45 minutes per week per 3-unit course). 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 are made from the applicant pool when instructional needs arise due to changing enrollment patterns, tenure-track faculty assignments, or other factors. Initial appointments are typically for one semester, though occasionally academic-year appointments are made. Appointments may be renewed based on department needs, funding, and performance. Often, appointments are finalized just prior to the start of the semester.
