The Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management (NREM) at Iowa State University seeks to fill a Lecturer or Senior Lecturer position in natural resources with a focus on wildlife ecology. This is a 12-month non-tenure eligible appointment.

Primary teaching responsibilities will be linked with a summer field education program primarily for undergraduate students being developed at an ISU-owned field station in Montana. The incumbent will prepare for, coordinate and direct the summer camp and provide leadership for a set of courses at the camp. He or she will work closely with NREM faculty and staff to facilitate camp operations, teaching needs, and logistics.

In addition, the incumbent will have teaching responsibilities during the fall and spring semester.
