FACULTY OF FORESTRY
UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA
Lecturer in International Forestry
We invite applications for a lecturer (term appointment) to be involved in the
teaching, coordination, and development of graduate courses in the new
course-based Master of International Forest program (MIF). The Master of
International Forestry (MIF) Program is a new one year course-based program for
both domestic and international students that have at least Bachelor degrees
but desire further training.
The lecturer will develop, coordinate and lead instruction in a new course on
forests and livelihoods, and contribute to the instruction of courses in
social, community and indigenous forestry (FRST 522), forest business
enterprise (FRST 560), and natural resource planning (FRST 559), as required.
The lecturer will work with the MIF instructor group on development, marketing
and continual improvement of the program. We expect up to 40 students per year
in this program and this will be an international student group that includes
recent graduates as well as early and mid-career professionals. Teaching will
include on-line material, classroom-based lectures, seminars and project work,
field-based exercises, and field trips, including a week-long trip in late
August/early September each year. The lecturer will assist in mentoring and
advising individual students.
The lecturer will be involved in reviewing applicant files, interviewing
applicants and guiding admitted students in choosing elective courses, and
monitoring student progress. The lecturer will assist the student services team
in recruitment and promotional activities for the program.
The lecturer must have a PhD in an appropriate field. Two or more years of
relevant experience in field and classroom instruction with adult learners is
highly desirable. The lecturer must have experience in curriculum development
and have demonstrated excellent organizational and interpersonal skills. The
lecturer must have professional experience in international forest management
or conservation.
The lectureship appointment will start on July 1, 2014, although an alternate
start date can be negotiated. Salary is commensurate with qualifications and
experience. This position is initially for one year, with the possibility of
renewal for subsequent years.
Please direct inquiries, and applications consisting of a CV, the names and
