Job Summary/Basic Function:
The Environmental Studies program in the School of Public Service seeks a one-year, temporary Lecturer to teach in-person courses. This instructor would primarily teach the introductory core course, ENVSTD 121, which also serves as a general education course providing students with the foundations of natural science as relevant to Environmental Studies. For many students, this is the class that inspires them to become Environmental Studies majors or minors. The course uses a common textbook and activities have already been developed and taught across a team of five faculty members. While not required, the instructor would have the opportunity to develop place-based learning opportunities in a growing metropolitan area in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.

You would be joining a dynamic, exciting program that has recently been redesigned to emphasize concrete examples and problem-based learning. As one of three interconnected interdisciplinary programs in the School of Public Service (along with Global Studies and Urban Studies and Community Development), we deliver innovative and place-based curriculum. Environmental Studies has over 200 majors and nearly 60 minors and a new certificate in Environmental Education. Our students come from all regions and backgrounds and leave prepared to see perspectives, evaluate change, conduct research, communicate effectively, and create networks, as well as to lead and follow.
