2026-27 Lecturer Pool Department of Geological Sciences

The Department of Geological Sciences at California State University Bakersfield is accepting applications for part-time lecturers for a pool from which instructors will be considered for appointments as they become available for Fall Semester 2026 and/or Spring 2027. Appointments are often made with short notice just prior to the start of the semester. Part-time lecturer duties 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 in consultation with the Dean.

We seek qualified candidates for our part-time lecturer pool to teach undergraduate and graduate geoscience and environmental science courses. Opportunities to teach in the evenings and/or during regular business hours may become available. We are particularly interested in instructors to teach courses in Hydrogeology, Geochemistry, and Engineering Geology, as well as general education courses that include physical geology and environmental science.  Preference will be given to those applicants who are able to participate on weekend field trips and those able to teach in-person laboratories as well as in-person lectures. Teaching materials are available for most courses.
