Summary of Position
The Office of the Senior Vice Provost for Academic Affairs at the University of New Hampshire is creating a position for a one-year appointment as 0.88 FTE Lecturer/Program Coordinator for the Sustainability Dual Major.
For this teaching-focused position the ideal candidate will have completed a Ph.D. and be able to present clear evidence of teaching excellence on the broad topic of sustainability, as well as experience in, and commitment to, interdisciplinary – transdisciplinary – experiential education, collaboration, and scholarship.
The Lecturer/Program Coordinator is expected to design and teach five introductory, intermediate, and upper division sustainability courses; advise and mentor students in the Dual Major and facilitate collaboration among sustainability-related faculty, staff, and external partners.

This manifests as an ethic that compels us to respond to urgent, complex challenges with trans-disciplinary approaches that involve diverse partners, on campus and beyond.
