The Department is home to programs in geology, natural resources, environmental science, and geography, which all share a commitment to excellence in teaching and undergraduate research. We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in environmental planning, which adds new expertise to our department. The successful candidate will demonstrate a strong commitment to excellence in teaching and providing interdisciplinary experiential learning opportunities for undergraduate students related to their area of scholarship. Teaching responsibilities will include an undergraduate introductory GIS course, courses in the Environmental Science program and the general education curriculum, and an upper level course related to the candidateâ??s area of expertise. In addition to teaching, collaborative research with undergraduates is expected, as we strongly believe in close mentoring and teaching through research. Western Carolina University is a 11,000-student, primarily undergraduate, campus within the University of North Carolina system. It is designated by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as a community engaged university. Inclusiveness and diversity are academic imperatives and thus are university goals. We are particularly interested in candidates who have experience working with students from diverse backgrounds and a demonstrated commitment to improving access to higher education for students from underrepresented groups. WCU is situated in the picturesque Cullowhee valley in the Blue Ridge mountains, 25 miles southeast of Great Smoky Mountains National Park and 50 miles southwest of Asheville, NC. WCU and the surrounding area offer a wide range of excellent field and laboratory facilities, on and off campus. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='vertical-align:middle'><span style='font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black'>Minimum Qualifications:</span><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black'>The candidate should have a PhD in a relevant field at the time of hire; an ABD candidate will be considered. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='vertical-align:middle'><span style='font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black'>Position Number:</span><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black'>192800 <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='vertical-align:middle'><span style='font-size:8.5pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black'>Posting Date:</span><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black'>09/13/2018 <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
