2026-27 AY Lecturer Pool - Mathematics

Cal State LA’s Mathematics Department in the College of Natural & Social Sciences is forming a pool of part-time faculty lecturers for the 2026-2027 academic year. Positions are filled each semester as instructional needs arise due to enrollment fluctuations, changes in tenure-track faculty assignments, or other departmental factors. Initial appointments are typically for one semester, though occasional academic-year appointments may be made. Renewals depend on department needs, funding, and performance. Many appointments are finalized shortly before the semester begins, so availability on short notice may be required.
