CI Opportunities Fall 2022 – Winter 2023

Contract Instructor (CI) Opportunities in the Department of Geography and Environmental Studies (DGES) during the Fall 2022 and Winter 2023 terms

(posted 14 April 2022)

DGES invites applications from members of the CUPE 4600-2 bargaining unit and other interested persons to teach courses in Geography (GEOG), Geomatics (GEOM), or Environmental Studies (ENST) as a contract instructor (CI) during the Fall 2022 and Winter 2023 terms. The specific courses requiring CI’s are listed below, and calendar course descriptions are linked to the course numbers.

The modality of this course is determined by the University (in-person, online, or hybrid). In the event public health authorities impose public health restrictions, part or all of this course may need to be delivered online as required by the University and as directed by public health authorities.

We welcome inquiries on how these courses fit into our programs’ learning objectives, and this will be a topic of discussion between potential instructors and the departmental Chair.  Applicants are welcome to ask questions prior to submitting an application by emailing the Chair of DGES at chair_geography@carleton.ca.

Detailed course scheduling is not known at this time. When it is, we will make all efforts possible to accommodate CI schedule constraints.  Due to the short turnaround time we will have for such requests, it would be appreciated if applicants could include any firm constraints in their application materials.

Qualifications

A Masters degree in Geography, Geomatics, or Environmental Studies, or a related discipline, is the minimum requirement to be considered for these positions.  Previous work or research experience in the subject area is required; demonstrated evidence or potential for teaching excellence is required; previous teaching experience in the subject area will be considered an asset.  CI stipends are $7,528 per 0.5 credit course (all courses in this posting are 0.5 credit courses).
