The Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society invites applications for one or more fixed-term, non-tenure-track full/part-time Instructors to teach on a term by term basis for the 2025-2026 academic year.

Some of these appointments may be reviewed for renewal or transition to an instructor position on an annual basis at the discretion of the Department Head.

The Department of Forest Ecosystems and Society is an academic unit that reports to the College of Forestry. The Department is composed of approximately 120 staff and includes faculty, research assistants, support staff, graduate students, temporary staff and undergraduate students.

The mission of the Department is to bring together biological and social scientists and philosophers to understand ecological systems, social systems, and the interactions between them. It accomplishes this through an interconnected program of 1) undergraduate and graduate educations; 2) scholarly research; and 3) extended education.

Instructors may be needed to teach any of the regularly offered courses in the Natural Resource (NR) or Tourism, Recreation, and Adventure Leadership (TRAL) undergraduate curriculum or graduate courses in the Masters of Natural Resources Program(MNR) and Sustainable Natural Resources (SNR) Programs or Forest and Climate Change (FCC) Certificate Program. These courses may be on campus courses or via E-campus.
