Teaching Assistant Professor – Geosciences
The Department of Marine, Earth, and Atmospheric Sciences (MEAS) at North Carolina State University (NC State) seeks to hire a teaching assistant professor to contribute substantively to our undergraduate programs. Primary responsibilities will include teaching a newly revised orientation course for incoming freshmen in the College of Sciences (COS) during fall semester; developing, organizing and teaching introductory geoscience courses to majors and non-majors during the spring semester; and revising and coordinating multi-section laboratories for introductory courses in MEAS, including supervision of teaching assistants. Additional duties will include advising undergraduate students and representing COS and MEAS at University Open House and other recruiting and outreach events. The starting date for this position is June 1, 2016.
This position requires a PhD in a geoscience field (atmospheric, earth, or marine science) or a closely related field. The College of Sciences and MEAS place a high value on excellent instruction and the use of innovative teaching methods. Applicants with a demonstrated track record of high quality college or university level teaching, including research-validated teaching methods, are preferred. Experience with curricular development is a plus, as is knowledge of electronic classroom management systems. Teaching Assistant Professors at NC State hold non-tenure track positions; they are eligible for promotion to Teaching Associate Professor and Teaching Professor ranks.
Affiliated with the College of Sciences at NC State, MEAS is one of the largest interdisciplinary geoscience departments in the nation. Opportunities exist for disciplinary and interdisciplinary interactions with more than 30 marine, earth, and atmospheric scientists.

Review of applications will begin on March 7, 2016; the position will remain open until filled.
