Dear GEP folks, The interdisciplinary Environmental Program at Colorado College is searching for a one year visiting professor in ecological economics, sustainability, and/or environmental/natural resource economics for 2014-15.
Please see the job description below and forward to anyone you know who might be interested in the position. Thanks! Corina ________________________________ Corina McKendry Assistant Professor of Political Science Colorado College 14 E Cache La Poudre St. Colorado Springs, CO 80903 719-389-6788 COLORADO COLLEGE ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRAM Visiting Faculty Opportunity Ecological Economics, Environmental/Natural Resource Economics, Sustainability The Environmental Program at Colorado College invites applications for a one-year visiting faculty position in ecological economics, environmental/natural resource economics, sustainability, sustainable development, or a related field, for the 2014-2015 academic year. Applicants must be committed to high quality, innovative undergraduate teaching. Colorado College uses the Block Plan, an intensive teaching schedule in which professors teach and students take only one course at a time for 3.5 weeks. The Block Plan lends itself to field and project-based teaching. Funds and logistical support for field trips and community-based learning projects are available through the Environmental Program. The faculty visitor will teach five regular courses within the 8-block academic year: sustainable development (two sections); ecological economics and sustainability; and two additional courses, including a topics course in the visitor's area of specialization. In addition, the faculty visitor will assist in supervising senior theses and senior research projects related to his or her areas of expertise; thesis and research supervision will constitute a sixth "course," although such advising is distributed over the academic year. Appointment will be at the assistant professor level for candidates holding a PhD; ABDs are appointed as visiting lecturers. The PhD or ABD is a requirement for employment. Visiting faculty are eligible for travel support to an academic conference and can apply for additional research funds during the academic year. Colorado College is committed to increasing diversity of the community and curriculum. Candidates who can contribute to that goal are particularly encouraged to apply. Applicants should send a cover letter, curriculum vitae, teaching statement (to include a discussion of the candidate's qualifications to teach the requested courses), and names and contact information of three referees in a single pdf by email to Prof. Marion Hourdequin, Environmental Program Director at [email protected]. Applications will be considered on a rolling basis, and the search will remain open until the visiting position is filled. For fullest consideration, applicants are encouraged to submit materials by April 15. Colorado College welcomes members of all groups, and reaffirms its commitment not to discriminate on the basis of race, color, age, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, or disability in its educational programs, activities, and employment practices. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "gep-ed" group.
