Open Date:
Oct 3, 2023
Description:

Professor of Practice in Earth and Environmental Sciences

The Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences seeks to fill a Professor of Practice position to begin in July 1, 2024. We seek an Earth and Environmental scientist with a PhD in geosciences or related science field, and with a teaching interest in geospatial analysis who will contribute to our inter-disciplinary GIS Certificate Program. The position is a non-tenured, full-time academic year (nine month) teaching position with renewable 3-year appointments, and opportunities for additional summer teaching. The responsibilities of this position include teaching courses comprising the undergraduate curriculum, teaching courses in the applicant's area of specialization, and service to the educational mission of the department and university. Opportunities exist for advising undergraduate research and co-advising research students, and for development of service-learning courses required of all undergraduates.  We would like to broaden participation in the study of the Earth and environment and therefore encourage applications from groups that are historically underrepresented in the sciences.  Review of applications will begin December 4, 2023, and continue until the position is filled.
