This role sits within the School of Forest, Fisheries, and Geomatics Sciences and supports NRLI’s mission to prepare leaders who use collaborative approaches to bridge differences and sustainably manage Florida’s natural resources.

The position is centered on experiential instruction, program development, partnership support, facilitation, and graduate/undergraduate teaching.

Preferred experience includes NRLI or a similar program, 10+ years of experience, and international/multicultural or non-academic experience.

Funding/salary: salary is commensurate with experience and education. This is a faculty appointment rather than a student scholarship.

Application window: for full consideration, apply by 2026-06-16. The position remains open until a viable applicant pool is identified. The appointment is expected to begin on or after 2026-07-01.

How to apply: submit the application online through Careers at UF with a cover letter, CV, contact information for three referees, and unofficial transcripts. Nominations are also welcome.
