Assistant/Associate Professor of Natural Resource Management position at the
University of the Virgin Islands (to begin Aug. 2009)


The University of the Virgin Islands invites applications for a tenure-track
Assistant/Associate Professor of Natural Resource Management position to begin
in August 2009. This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced teacher,
scholar, and practitioner who is interested in being part of a new
interdisciplinary Master’s program in marine and environmental science
(http://mmes.uvi.edu/). Although the successful candidate will be expected to
teach core and elective courses in his/her area of expertise, as well as
possible undergraduate courses, s/he will also be encouraged to take advantage
of the many opportunities for research in natural resource management in the
Virgin Islands (http://epscor.uvi.edu/).

UVI is a Historically Black publicly supported land-grant institution.. As
such, we seek faculty who will inspire and mentor students, as well as
integrate instruction with research and service. Appointees must be able to
work productively with students and colleagues of diverse ethnic and cultural
backgrounds.

Qualifications:
Applicants must possess a PhD in the Sciences or Social Sciences that is
related to natural resource management, and both teaching and applied natural
resource management experience. Candidates with a background in management of
small island coastal and marine environments are especially encouraged to apply.

The primary teaching responsibility of the successful candidate will be
graduate level coursework in natural resource management, with the potential
to teach some undergraduate courses within the Division of Science and
Mathematics. The candidate will also be expected to mentor and advise Masters
level students, and to develop and maintain an active, extramurally-funded
research program in his or her area of specialty.

Employment will begin in August 2009.

Rank and compensation will be based on academic preparation, teaching and
practical experience. Benefits include a generous TIAA/CREFF or Virgin Islands
Government Retirement Plan, as well as a comprehensive group medical and
dental insurance plan.

If applicable, economy airfare to St. Thomas for the appointee and immediate
family, and a shipping allowance of up to $1,250 will be paid by the
University upon presentation of receipts.

The letter of application should include an explanation of your teaching
philosophy and style, and an explanation of how your practical experience has
affected your teaching and/or research and vice versa. You may include syllabi
and student evaluations and letters in your application packet. Send the
letter of application, curriculum vitae, transcripts from accredited
institutions, the names, addresses, telephone numbers, and e-mail addresses of
three references and other permissible supporting material via email to:
hrweb at uvi.edu and a copy to cmckayl at uvi.edu. Transcripts may be sent via
regular mail. Review of applications will begin on Jan.5, 2009 and continue
until a suitable pool of applicants has been identified.
