They will participate in pre-course orientation sessions and receive ongoing teacher support. Compensation includes an annual salary of $4,500 per course. FTE will be determined on course work load. Your teaching load may make you eligible for benefits if you work a .50 FTE or greater for 90 days or longer. As courses and loads are determined, we will notify employees should they gain benefits eligibility status. Candidates working anywhere in the U.S. may be considered for a remote assignment. If you are selected for this position and are employed to work remotely from outside of Arizona, your overtime exemption status will depend on the laws of the state where you perform your work. For employees working outside of Arizona, you may be hired as an hourly employee in accordance with state laws, and your position title would be "Part-Time Faculty" instead of "Adjunct Lecturer" in accordance with university practices. These changes would not affect the position duties as outlined. A comparable hourly rate for this position is $21.00 per hour.
