Job Description

Liberal Studies at New York University is seeking a part-time science instructor to teach one section of Environmental Studies in AY 2024-25. Successful candidates will be contacted on an as-needed basis to fill section openings in the Liberal Studies Core, if and when such openings arise.

Liberal Studies provides a unique interdisciplinary educational experience to undergraduate students. The Liberal Studies Core consists of a two-year interdisciplinary global curriculum drawing on great works across civilizations. The Global Liberal Studies Bachelor of Arts, one of NYU?s premier liberal arts degrees, builds on the global core with an upper division interdisciplinary set of concentrations that direct students toward different areas of global study.

Students learn about modern environmental science in the context of contemporary global issues, exploring the impact that the decisions of nations and individuals have on local and world ecologies. The course emphasizes the science involved in environmental decisions while also examining the role of ethics, politics, and economics in environmental decisions at both personal and governmental levels. Students examine such topics as ecology and biodiversity, including the nature and effects of succession, evolution, and invasion species; the atmosphere, including air pollution, ozone depletion, and climate change; sources, use, and misuse of water resources; human population and feeding the world?s people, including developments in agriculture and genetic modifications of organisms; and the nature of Earth?s energy resources and their use by humankind.  

In compliance with NYC?s Pay Transparency Act, the contact hour rate for this position is $214.24. This rate is based on the collective bargaining agreement with Local 7902.

Classes meet twice weekly, for 75 minutes per class session. Adjunct faculty candidates should have a PhD in an environmental or biological science and at least one year of college-level teaching experience, though senior graduate students (ABD) will be considered. 

All applications must be submitted through Interfolio at and include ONLY (1) a cover letter; (2) a current C.V.; and (3) a Diversity and Inclusion Statement addressing past and/or potential future contributions to diversity through teaching, professional activity, and/or service (additional information can be found here ).

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. Interviews to commence as soon as possible.
