[ES_JOBS_NET] instructor needed at St. Olaf College, MN, USA for 2015-16

[Brandy Toner]

*For those interested in part-time teaching at St. Olaf next year, see
information below:*

The department of environmental studies at St. Olaf is looking for
qualified individuals to teach two courses next year in earth sciences.

In the fall, we need someone to teach our intro-to-earth-science course, ES
123, Earth's Dynamic Systems.  Its course description reads: This course
considers a variety of topics in earth and environmental science. Beginning
with the origin of the earth and planetary system, the course examines
crustal evolution and plate tectonics, geologic resources and hazards, and
the relationship of these surface phenomena to processes occurring in the
earth's interior. It concludes with a study of the oceans, the atmosphere,
the earth's climate system, and environmental change. Prerequisite:
proficiency in algebra and geometry. Offered annually. Counts toward
environmental studies major (all tracks) and concentration.  The class is
currently scheduled to meet on Tuesdays from 11:45 to 1:10 and Thursdays
from 12:45 to 2:05.

In the spring, we need someone to teach an intermediate course on climate
change, ES 245: Global Climate Change.  Its course description reads: This
course is an interdisciplinary seminar on climate throughout the earth's
history, including recent changes caused by humankind. It examines the
climate system in the larger framework of planetary evolution and explores
evidence from the geologic record for climates of the past. Using current
scientific literature, students investigate causes of climate change and
consider scenarios for future climate based on models incorporating
alternative global development strategies. Prerequisites: sophomore
standing; one level I biology, chemistry, or physics course or ENVST 137
strongly encouraged. Offered annually.  This class is scheduled to meet on
Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 12:55 to 1:50.

In both cases, we have sufficient lead time to change the class meeting
time if it helps us hire a qualified and interested individual.

If your department has any part-time faculty who are interested in taking
on some additional courses, or if you know of any geologists who might be
interested in teaching here at St. Olaf, I would very much appreciate it if
you could send this note on to them, encouraging them to call me or write
at their earliest convenience.
