Instructor Pool - 2025/2026 and Fall Term 2026: Horticulture

The Department of Horticulture invites applications for one or more fixed-term, non-tenure-track full/part-time Instructor positions 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 instructional position on an annual basis at the discretion of the Department Head.

Applications will be considered throughout the 2025-2026 academic year and fall term 2026 as opportunities become available.

For the 2025-2026 academic year, we are specifically looking for individuals to help us cover undergraduate courses in organic agriculture, urban agriculture, plant breeding and genetics, and landscape construction and management.

The primary purpose of the instructor position is to teach undergraduate campus-based courses and/or Ecampus courses. The aspirational vision for the department is to lead in creation, application and distribution of scientific knowledge specific to horticulture. The department’s curriculum encompasses most standard fields of discipline: sustainable production of fruits, vegetables and ornamental plants, plant breeding and genomics, environmental turf and landscape management, urban and organic agriculture, and horticultural and entomology.

College of Agricultural Sciences faculty are committed to enhancing student success by engaging students in quality academic, research, internships, global studies, and other experiential learning opportunities.
