Full-time Instructor in Wildlife at Cal Poly Humboldt

Cal Poly Humboldt and the Department of Wildlife invites applications for an academic year, full-time (1.0 FTE), temporary faculty position in Conservation Biology for academic year 2024/2025. Depending on satisfactory performance evaluation, available funding, and programmatic need we anticipate renewing this position for the foreseeable future (in fact, we count on that, but I can't say it so directly!) A PhD is preferred for this position, but ABD is acceptable. We plan to hire for two teaching positions, and pay will be at least 15% higher than listed on the website because of our recent successful labor action. The successful candidate will teach the following during AY 2024/2025: WLDF 460 - Conservation Biology, WLDF 495 - Senior Project, and an additional course appropriate to their disciplinary and/or taxonomic expertise, such as WLDF 423 - Non-game management, or WLDF 430/431 - Wetland or Upland Habitat Ecology. The Department of Wildlife is one of the largest and most diverse undergraduate wildlife programs in the country, with approximately 375 majors largely from California. Come live and teach in beautiful Arcata, CA, on the shores of Humboldt Bay and the Pacific Ocean, amongst redwoods and undammed rivers. We are committed to a more inclusive future for conservation and wildlife biology by providing educational equity to today's undergraduate students interested in wildlife. Our unique faculty, geography, and resources provide unique opportunities for hands-on instruction in wildlife biology. For more information, please visit: https://wildlife.humboldt.edu

*Please note that due to recent successful labor action by the California Faculty Association, the floors of the compensation ranges associated with this position will be at least 15% higher than currently listed on the university website. Successful candidates with a PhD will be appointed to the "Lecturer B" range, while candidates without a PhD will likely be appointed to the "Lecturer A" range unless they have substantial teaching experience. Additional benefits for faculty unit employees beyond compensation were also gained during this action.
