paleonet Part-time teaching opportunity in Chicago



Please ignore this message if you do not live in the Chicago area


Due to an unexpected shortage of faculty coming fall, the Environmental
Science Program
(http://gis.depaul.edu/envirsci/Administrative/default.htm) at DePaul
University is seeking a non-tenure track, part-time instructor to teach
one lecture-only course (ENV 202: "Resources, Populations and the
Environment") for non-science majors during the coming Autumn Quarter.  

Qualifications: Ph.D. preferred (in any natural science field), but
those with a Master's degree in any natural science field may also
apply.  Previous teaching experience is highly desired, but the minimum
requirement would be a strong commitment and desire to teach non-science
undergraduates.

The course meets every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:40AM until
10:40AM and runs from early September through late November, 2006. The
course description is: "A course on the relationship between the
exploitation of the biological, mineral and energy resources of the
earth to support an increasing population, and the environmental effects
of this development."  The instructor may add some
"paleo/geology/evolution flavor" to his/her lectures in the context of
topics such as population biology, ecology, conservation biology,
geologic resources, and climate changes.

I will be attending the Western Interior Fossil Vertebrates Symposium in
conjunction with the Federal Fossil Conference in Albuquerque from
Monday through Wednesday.  So, if you have any questions, please contact
the Program Director, Dr. James Montgomery at 773-325-2771 (phone) or
jmontgom@depaul.edu (email).  If applying, please send your curriculum
vitae to Dr. Montgomery as an e-mail attachment (in MS Word or PDF) as
soon as possible.  The search will continue until the position is filled
or someone in the program decides to overload his/her teaching schedule
this fall.  Additional material (e.g., recommendation letters) will be
requested after the initial screening process.

Sincerely,
Kenshu
