Job Description:
The newly established undergraduate program in Environmental Horticulture program at York College of Pennsylvania invites applications for a Master's level, non-tenure instructor position beginning fall semester of 2021 (July 1, 2021 start date). The Environmental Horticulture major is designed with a focus on questions of sustainability and a global perspective on food and ornamental plant utilization. The position serves as assistant to the director of the Horticulture program, in order to establish and manage a plant reference collection, design and implement outreach programs to the York community, collaborate with faculty in other disciplines of the Kinsley School of Engineering, Sciences and Technology (where the Environmental Horticulture major is housed) and other duties. The successful candidate will have ongoing teaching assignments in fall and spring semesters each year and will teach courses in plant science, economic botany, and plant taxonomy in the Environmental Horticulture major. Additional teaching opportunities may arise in the Biology department including introductory biology for non-majors.
Requirements:
The successful candidate will have a Master's degree in biological sciences with a strong background in botany, economic botany, and plant taxonomy. Preference will be given to candidates who can demonstrate teaching and research experience in these areas, as well as a record of grantsmanship and publication. Given the global perspectives of the program, international experience in teaching and research in economic botany and plant taxonomy is also of high importance.
