Instructor I Position
Agroecology Program
UBC Faculty of Agricultural Sciences
The Faculty of Agricultural Sciences at the University of British Columbia
invites applications from suitably qualified persons for the position of
Instructor I in the Agroecology Program. The position involves
undergraduate and graduate teaching, research and community service.
Candidates must have a Ph.D. in philosophy, biology, sociology or a similar
field and teaching/research interests in the areas of critical thinking,
ethics and sustainable agriculture. Preference will be given to
individuals with strengths in the areas of critical thinking, ethics and
sustainable agriculture. Ideally candidates will bring a global perspective
to their teaching through direct experience or interest in global issues.
Candidates must also be committed to undergraduate teaching in an
interdisciplinary and flexible, team-teaching framework (consult our WEB
site for more curriculum development information: www.agsci.ubc.ca). The
Faculty is in the process of a significant transformation of its
undergraduate programs with an emphasis on problem-based learning as a
pedagogy and distributed learning as the means of delivery. It is
expected that this position may involve connections across the campus to
teach collaboratively with units such as anthropology, sociology,
international relations and women's studies.
Salary is commensurate with qualifications and experience. Duties include
participation in developing and delivering the Land, Food & Community I
course, particularly the modules in critical thinking and ethics, and
assisting in the development and delivery of the total new Agroecology
curriculum; working in the areas of cultural diversity, ethnic relations
and relations between scientific and community-based ecological knowledge;
promoting our "global graduate studies" program; and mentoring graduate
students. Teaching and curriculum development experience an asset.
UBC hires on the basis of merit and is committed to employment equity. UBC
encourages all qualified persons to apply. In accordance with Canadian
immigration requirements, priority will be given to Canadian citizens and
permanent residents of Canada in the first instance. This position is
subject to budgetary approval.
Applications will be received until November 1, 1999 or until the position
is filled. Applicants should submit a letter containing a statement of
teaching and research interest, a full curriculum vitae, names of three
referees, and a sample of research to:
