Company description
School of Earth & Environment
Understanding the interactions between Earth systems, life on Earth, and human society is essential to a flourishing future for all of humanity. Our degree programs use hands-on experience to provide students and trainees with pathways into exciting and important modern careers. Our outstanding faculty includes globally recognized leaders in their fields. And education and outreach are mission critical for us. Job description The School of Earth & Environment seeks to hire a full-time Senior/Master Lecturer with expertise in sustainable food systems. The successful candidate will assist the development and direct the implementation of our forthcoming bachelor’s degree program in Sustainable Food Systems, which will focus on innovation, equity, and regenerative practices for growing, processing, and distributing responsibly produced, healthful food. This non-tenure-track teaching position begins during the 2021-22 academic year and includes reassigned instructional time for developing, implementing, and coordinating the undergraduate degree in Sustainable Food Systems. The curriculum – grounded in the processes, infrastructure and policies involved in feeding a population – will be designed with the goal of preparing students for careers that facilitate healthy, affordable, and sustainably produced food that is equitably accessible to all eaters. The initial program would encourage students to live, work and learn together for a year within a “Food Village;” an on-campus residential community with dedicated land and a greenhouse for growing, classroom space, and a teaching kitchen. Enrolled students in the village will have coordinated course schedules, allowing for the academic experience to be enhanced by the community itself, as well as the opportunities for field trips and hands-on food production and preparation.
The position will be offered as a renewable, multi-year 12-month contract, with benefits. Additionally, the lecturer will be expected to contribute to the academic life of the school and university, developing courses and curricula, participating in faculty governance, and engaging in a broad range of service activities. Successful candidates should have a background that blends both academic and professional and research experience working within sustainable food systems. We welcome applications from candidates with a broad range of backgrounds, including experience in sustainable agricultural production, community food security, culinary arts, food distribution and processing, food systems planning, and food policy.
