The successful candidate will teach lecture, laboratory, and/or field-based courses as assigned by the Department Chair (typically 2-3 undergraduate courses in the Fall and Spring semesters) and may elect to teach over Winter and Summer sessions on a supplemental contract. They will develop new educational materials and incorporate evidence-based teaching methods into their courses; create and foster an inclusive learning environment in classroom, lab, and field settings; engage and support students from a wide range of cultural and academic backgrounds; mentor graduate student teaching assistants; and contribute to departmental and institutional service and outreach activities. Scholarly activities may also be pursued but are not required for satisfactory performance or advancement on the Continuing Track.
