The Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory is looking for an instructor to teach a 4-week or 8-week course in 2007. The eight week course runs from from mid-June to mid-August. The four week course runs from mid-July to mid-August. The 8-week course will probably focus on some aspect of Conservation Biology, but we will consider any suitable field course. We will consider any suitable field course for the four-week course. Classes are directed towards undergraduates and should focus on some aspect of field biology. We already have Botany, Mammalogy, Animal Behavior, Field Ecology, Ornithology, and Stream Ecology in the mix, so classes that fall too close to these will not be considered. Classes meet with instructors 2 full days/week. Compensation is $4500 for the 8-week course and $2250 for the 4-week course (plus station fees, half a lab, and dinners for both the 4 and 8 week course). Applicants should have a PhD in hand. We will consider PhD students who are very close to finishing if they have experience in mountain ecosystems and can demonstrate promise as an educator. Applicants should send a cover letter (including a description of teaching experience and information on whether you can commit to the class this far in advance), a CV, and 2 letters of recommendation to Ian Billick, [EMAIL PROTECTED] The deadline for receipt of materials is Aug. 21. For those considering future research at the RMBL, teaching is an excellent introduction to the Lab and the ecosystems around the RMBL. More information on the RMBL and the coursework program can be found at www.rmbl.org.
