[Coral-List] SFS TCI Resource Management Lecturer Position Open

[Heidi Hertler]

The School for Field Studies Center for Marine Resource Management, located on South Caicos Island in the Turks and Caicos seeks an enthusiastic, team-oriented individual to serve as part of a team of faculty and staff that delivers an interdisciplinary, hands-on learning experience to students spending a summer or semester in Turks and Caicos. On a contract basis, the Resident Lecturer in Marine Resource Management will deliver the 50-hour Principles of Marine Resource Management course during the fall and spring semesters. Additionally, during fall and spring, they will co-teach the 50-hour Directed Research course with other faculty members, leading a faculty-developed directed research project with a small group of students. During two month-long summer sessions, this position will co-teach two 50-hour summer courses: Tropical Marine Ecosystems: Monitoring and Management in June and Marine Fauna: Ecology and Conservation in July.

SFS programs are field-based and experiential. This position will engage students in a classroom setting and through extensive time spent in the field. We encourage faculty to integrate as much fieldwork and hands-on experience into their courses as possible.

SFS programs do not follow a nine to five model. Faculty are also integral members of the Center's communal living model, eating and working with the student cohort.

Faculty are expected to be active members in the community-building process. Additional responsibilities outside of teaching include participation in community engagement days, involvement in student life, organization of laboratory space, and general Center upkeep. We are especially interested in candidates with experience teaching to a diverse student body, and demonstrated commitment to diversity, inclusion, and cultural competence in a learning environment, conservation, and the Center's host community.
