The Departments of Geosciences (http://www.geo.umass.edu/) and Environmental
Conservation (http://eco.umass.edu/)at the University of Massachusetts
Amherst seek applications for a full-time (12-month) non-tenure-track

The position will emphasize graduate teaching, and development and
management of a new 1-year professional Masters degree in GIST. Candidates

mentor whose interests are broad and support the pedagogy that allows
students to gain the ability to analyze and solve real-world problems.

Teaching responsibilities include courses on geospatial technology,
including but not limited to introductory GIST, spatial database management
& interoperability, GIST programming and customization, internet-based
GIST, and capstone project advising. The lecturer will contribute
classes  (including

to support and manage a new 1-year Professional Masters Degree in GIST.

Additional responsibilities include management of the GIST graduate
program, including advising students in the one-year professional Masters
degree program; student recruiting on and off campus; maintaining student
academic record files; interacting with the Graduate Registrar to manage
degree requirements; and organizing and maintaining information on career
opportunities for students. We expect the candidate to work closely with
faculties in Geosciences and Environmental Conservation to build and
coordinate campus– and web-based GIST programs.  The office for this
position will reside in Morrill Building with the Geosciences.

Candidates must have a Master’s, a Ph.D. is preferred, in geography,
geomatics, GIScience or other closely related field*.* Relevant
professional experience in this field is required.  A candidate must
demonstrate excellence in oral and written communications; teaching
(university level is desirable); and interdisciplinary
problem-solving.

The successful candidate will be creative and demonstrate a team-player
attitude. S/he must have a commitment to collaboration between faculty,
students, staff, and partners in industry and government. The successful
candidate will serve, as do all other faculty, as a mentor to minorities
and other underrepresented groups within the departments.  The University
of Massachusetts Amherst places special emphases on faculty-student
interaction and a commitment to teach and attract a diverse student body.

*APPLICATION:  *Earliest start date is September 1, 2016.  Review of
applications will begin December 2, 2015.  The position will remain open
until filled.  Applicants should submit curriculum vitae, statement of
teaching goals, and the names, addresses and contact information of three
