Clinical Assistant Professor of Teaching and Learning

The Department of Forestry and Natural Resources (FNR) at Purdue University is seeking a Clinical Assistant Professor with a focus on instructional responsibilities. This is a non-tenure-track, academic-year (9-month) appointment with summer appointment possibilities. Salary will be competitive and commensurate with qualifications. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in natural resources (wildlife, aquatic science, and/or forestry) and education using evidence-based pedagogy.

Specific responsibilities include teaching undergraduate courses in the Department (12-credit or contact hours per semester, which translates to approximately 5-7 courses per year depending on course size and lab/field components), teaching at our Summer Field Practicum, and mentorship of student organizations. Potential exists for teaching distance courses. The successful candidate will explore opportunities for extramural funding that aims at excellence in teaching and learning focused on innovative instruction. Opportunities and support for international learning experiences through study abroad courses also exist within the Department and College of Agriculture. This position will play an important role in the Department community; engaging in service and outreach responsibilities both within and outside of FNR and participation in FNR undergraduate curriculum discussions and strategic planning is expected. Developing and publishing scholarship of teaching and learning is also expected over time.

The Department conducts teaching, research, and extension in forestry, wildlife science, and aquatic science, with social sciences integrated throughout the curriculum and research/extension areas. The Department includes approximately 30 faculty, 58 staff members supporting extension, teaching, research and administration, 290 undergraduate students, and 70 graduate students.
