Oakland, Merritt Environmental Program Instructor
CALL FOR ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION AND WATERSHED MANAGEMENT ADJUNCT INSTRUCTORS
Join one of the oldest Ecological Restoration and Environmental programs in the U.S.!
The Environmental Program at Merritt College is looking for adjunct instructors to teach or team-teach courses in ecological restoration and watershed management. Course topics include wetland, creek, and upland restoration, watershed assessment, hydrology, erosion, water quality, GIS, wildlife, and community involvement (see below). Our courses range from introductory to intermediate levels, and are more qualitative than quantitative. Our enthusiastic students are primarily adults, and many already have degrees. Most of our instructors are practitioners in the field. Classes are mostly evenings and weekends and integrate lectures, demonstrations and hands-on fieldwork.
Classes and workshops typically run from 9 to 54 hours total each semester during evenings and weekends. Evenings are 2-3 hours once a week, and weekends are 4-6 hours on various Saturdays and/or Sundays beginning and ending throughout the semester. Scheduling is flexible and done well in advance.
The Merritt College Watershed and Environmental Center is located in the Oakland hills with direct access to the headwaters of Arroyo Viejo and Lyon Creeks. We have GPS units, WQM, some tools and other resources including a small watershed library.
Instructors are required to have either a Masters in a related field, a Bachelor’s degree plus 4 years work experience, or an Associate’s degree and 6 years of work experience. pay ranges from $50-$75/hour.
This is an excellent opportunity for watershed and restoration organizations to use their own projects as hands-on field sites and other events.
