Job ID: 137163 Rank: Instructor/Professional Lecturer
College/School: Chicago, IL - College of Science and Health Responsibilities:

DePaul University invites applications for a full-time instructor beginning in September 2024. This position has an initial contract that runs until the end of the 2024-2025 academic year (June 2025) with the potential for renewal after this date. This is an opportunity to join DePaul's vibrant Environmental Science and Studies (ENV) department (https://env.depaul.edu) as teaching faculty.
We seek applicants with a broad background in environmental science disciplines who are passionate about teaching environmental and sustainability issues. In addition to classes of more general interest for both majors and non-majors, there may be opportunities to teach both new and listed classes (ex. Chicago Quarter, water resources, etc.) related to the areas of expertise of the successful candidate. We welcome applicants whose teaching complements but does not duplicate existing faculty expertise.
Instructors teach 9 teaching equivalents (TE) a year (each lecture section counts for 1 TE and each lab section for 0.5 TE). Note that DePaul uses a quarter system, and these teaching equivalents typically occur over the autumn, winter, and spring quarters.
This contract position is an exciting opportunity for an individual with a commitment to undergraduate education. Additionally, community partnerships can be developed using Chicago as a classroom for social justice and equity-based learning. We have long-standing collaborations in teaching and research with the Field Museum, the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, the Morton Arboretum, and the Urban Wildlife Institute at the Lincoln Park Zoo.
The successful candidate will have a demonstrably strong record of teaching and will be committed to helping a diverse population of students succeed in learning, regardless of gender, ethnicity, and STEM preparation. The ENV particularly values inclusive and active pedagogical approaches in the classroom.
