I am passing this message along. Teaching also will likely include ENV 220 (ecological principles) and potentially opportunities for research collaborations in desert ecology in the Las Vegas region. I must stress that I have nothing to do with the hiring and am simply passing this along, but would be happy to discuss our programs with potential applicants to the position.
UNLV's new School of Environmental and Public Affairs will be hiring a one year Visiting Asst. Professor in Environmental Studies for the 2010-11 year. The position will most likely be a 3-4 load with 3 to 5 of those courses being new preps. The position requires someone capable of covering courses such as (some not all): ENV 101 -- Environmental Science Environmental Policy -- upper division course Environment and Development -- sophomore level Climate Change course -- sophomore level a Sustainable Planning and Design course (upper division) an Environmental Sociology course (upper division) perhaps one graduate seminar – a special topics course that builds on the successful candidate’s primary area(s) of expertise Pay will be somewhere in the range of $40 to $44k with decent travel $. It is not clear at this time if there is potential for staying longer than one year given the uncertainty in our budget climate. The successful applicant will start in mid-August 2010 and ideally will have a PhD in hand, but ABD candidates will be competitive for this position. To be considered applicants need to submit a vitae and letter of interest to: Edward Weber Professor and Director School of Environmental and Public Affairs University of Nevada Las Vegas Email: [email protected] Subject line should read “Visiting Prof position.”
