Lecturers
The Department of Economics maintains a pool of candidates to fill part-time, temporary positions teaching introductory economics courses.
Courses taught by Lecturers on an as-needed-basis include our 4-unit Introductory Microeconomics and Macroeconomics courses.
These courses consist of a 3-unit lecture and a 1-unit online lab (student lab work is approximately 2 hours per week).
The Department currently uses the services of
Aplia (www.aplia.org) to construct online labs.
Openings in other, more advanced, subjects are also available. The position requires a minimum of an
M.A. in Economics, and the Department prefers candidates who have completed the Economics Ph.D. or
who have Ph.D. work in progress. Experience with classroom teaching is highly desired.

Visiting Scholars
Visiting scholars create a dynamic, stimulating environment for faculty and students alike. The Department of Economics
has been honored to have an outstanding group of international visiting scholars. They have brought a new perspective to
our students and new opportunities for research collaboration with our faculty. Our international visiting scholars have
largely been supported through external foundations.
As we secure additional funding we look forward to increasing our visiting scholars program, to creating endowed chairs
for senior scholars in Economics and to establishing a post-doctoral program. Post-doctorates at SJSU will receive a warm
welcome from faculty eager to collaborate on research and to provide mentoring on teaching.
