[Job] [NH/ME] Seeking Co-Faculty for June Undergraduate Fisheries Field Course

[Lindsey Williams]

We are seeking an interested candidate to join a teaching team and serve as co-faculty for an undergraduate introductory sustainable fisheries course at the Shoals Marine Laboratory (SML) field station on Appledore Island, Maine from June 1-June 15, 2026. Candidates must be available to be on island for at least 7 days, but preference will be given to those who can be on island for the entire course period. Seeking someone with experience working in fisheries, fisheries management, collaborative research, or quantitative fisheries biology. A master's degree or equivalent experience is required, PhD or ABD is preferred. Experience working at a field station or on a vessel is a plus.

 

Expectations:

• Work with three other faculty to provide undergraduate students of varied majors with an introduction to sustainable fisheries and working waterfront management with a focus on the Gulf of Maine region.
• Willingness to participate in field work, including on vessels (day trips only), and be adaptable in response to possible changes in course activity schedules due to the complexities of teaching on an island.
• Be available approximately once per month January through April and once a week in May to meet with co-faculty for course planning.
• Ideal candidates will be available to co-teach this course beyond 2026.

 

This adjunct faculty position is provided through the University of New Hampshire. Salary is commensurate with experience. Room and board while on island is included in the position. Reasonable travel expenses from your home to SML's dock in Portsmouth NH are also included. 

Please send a brief cover letter outlining your qualifications and a 2 page resume/CV to Lindsey....@unh.edu.  Applications received by Dec. 15 will receive priority consideration.  Please feel free to reach out to any of the current faculty with any questions related to the course (Owen Nichols - nic...@coastalstudies.org; Heidi Henninger - heidi.h...@noaa.gov; Lindsey Williams - lindsey....@unh.edu).  For questions about the adjunct position or SML more broadly, please contact David Buck - David...@unh.edu.
