Division of Professional Studies Imperial Valley Lecturer Pool 2026-2027
About the role
The Division of Professional Studies at SDSU Imperial Valley is accepting applications for the 2026-2027 part-time lecturer pool. SDSU Imperial Valley is a college and branch campus within San Diego State University, located approximately 120 miles from the San Diego main campus on the border with Mexico.
Appointments from the part-time pool are often made just prior to the start of the academic term, so applicants must be available on very short notice. The Fall term begins mid-August and ends late-December; the Spring term begins mid-January and ends mid-May. Opportunities for teaching during the Summer Sessions may also be available. Initial appointments are typically one semester or one academic year, to be renewed contingent on satisfactory evaluations and continuing availability of work.
All current and previous SDSU Imperial Valley lecturers must submit a new application every academic year to be considered for classes. The application period is from the Spring through the Summer before the Fall semester of the academic year and is valid through the Spring semester of the subsequent year.
