Subject Matter Expert Global Sustainable Development Policy

About Unity:
At Unity Environmental University we are on a mission to make environmental education accessible and affordable to all. Our unique model combines a functional hierarchy and project-based structure through our four Sustainable Education Business Units (SEBUs) to promote collaboration and innovation (Distance Education, Sustainable Ventures, Hybrid Learning and the Technical Institute for Environmental Professions). We prioritize our students' needs above all else, offering a variety of modalities, including hybrid, in-person, hyflex, and online. Our innovative and inclusive culture prepares students to tackle real-world challenges and cultivate the next generation of environmental professionals and leaders who can make a positive impact on our world.

Our Mission:
We are dedicated to delivering quality education and experiences that produce outstanding environmentally competent professionals and inspire individuals from all walks of life to steward sustainable ecosystems.

About Distance Education :
Distance Education provides an entirely asynchronous, online learning experience that adapts to the unique circumstances of each student. Our fully accredited bachelor's and master's degree programs, as well as non-degree credits, empower learners to shape their own educational journey. With 8 five-week terms for undergraduates and 5 eight-week terms for graduate students, our model offers unparalleled flexibility. Students can learn at their own pace, and take breaks as needed. By using the everyday environment as a laboratory, students will integrate their studies into their daily life. This makes our education ideal for busy professionals who seek to advance their careers while still honoring their commitments. We are committed to empowering our students to become the changemakers our world needs, wherever they are.

The Opportunity:
Unity University seeks enthusiastic individuals to serve as Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to develop a program curriculum and courses related to global politics and policy topics related to tourism destination management, development policy, and political economy for the new Bachelor of Science degree in Tourism Destination Management. SMEs will work closely with the Associate Director of Sustainable Ecotourism and Recreation and the Dean of Graduate Studies to advise on and develop curricula related to sustainable and regenerative tourism, tourism development policy, and geopolitics as they relate to tourism/economic development.
