Hi all, The Biology Department at the College of the Holy Cross is hiring a full-time visiting professor to teach General Ecology (with lab) plus some additional courses in the 2015-2016 academic year. We are potentially interested in finding someone who, in addition to General Ecology, can teach an intermediate-level course in a field that bridges between biology and the geosciences, such as limnology, paleoecology, or global change biology.
The full position announcement with the associated links is copied below. Cheers, Sara Mitchell The Department of Biology at the College of the Holy Cross invites applications for a visiting full-time faculty appointment in Ecology for the 2015-2016 academic year to begin in August. Candidates must demonstrate commitment to, and excellence in, undergraduate teaching as informed by current practice and scholarship in the field. Specific courses include General Ecology with laboratory, one section of an intermediate-level course, and sections of a course designed specifically for non-science majors. Preference will be given to a candidate whose intermediate-level course can count towards multiple curricular programs, including the evolution/ecology or organismal distribution requirements for biology major, the geosciences minor, and the environmental studies major. Examples include limnology, global change biology, biogeochemical cycles, or paleoecology. Detailed information is available at the Biology Department website ( http://academics.holycross.edu/biology/visiting_assistant_professors).
