The Northern Arizona University School of Forestry is seeking to fill a teaching intensive Lecturer position. Teaching load will be the equivalent of four courses per semester. Although the area of expertise is open, we are seeking an individual with a strong background in general forestry, who can teach courses with both lecture and field components and at all levels in our undergraduate forestry program.

Depending on qualifications, teaching one or more courses in wildland fire science and management is a possibility.
Teaching responsibilities may also include online or hybrid (online and in-person) courses. Research and other forms of scholarly activity are not an expectation for this position, and release time will not be allocated for such.
Minimum qualifications: Master of Science degree in forestry, natural resources, or closely related field.
Preferred Qualifications: Bachelor of Science degree in forestry. Ph.D. in forestry, natural resources or closely related field. A record of college- or university-level teaching, or teaching assistant experience. Expertise in both ecological and management applications of forestry.
