<div><b>Lecturer in Oceanography at Boston College</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Due to the very recent departure of a lecturer for greener
pastures, the Boston College Department of Earth &
Environmental Sciences has an opening for a part-time
instructor for an introductory oceanography course in fall
2014. The current course description is below, although the
instructor would have flexibility in terms of topics covered.
If you know of anyone who might be interested, I would greatly
appreciate it if you would pass this information on. This is a
good opportunity for a post-doc or advanced graduate student
to obtain some teaching experience and receive some additional
funding. A PhD is not required, but if a grad student, the
student should be ABD with a MSc or the equivalent. Prof. Gail
Kineke has taught the course for many years and she would be
happy to help with syllabus, power points, examples of exams,
etc. There is also an accompanying lab that is taught by a
graduate student teaching assistant (TA). The class meets T,Th
1:30-2:45 pm.</div>

<div>Information about the department can be found at</div>

Anyone interested should contact me, the department chair, at
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:john.ebel@bc.edu">john.ebel@bc.edu</a>.
I would be happy to answer any questions about the course,
academic calendar, work load, etc. Thank you in advance for
your help.</div>

<div>GE 157 Oceanography (Fall: 4 credits)</div>
<div>Corequisite: GE 158 Lab</div>
<div>Satisfies Natural Science Core Requirement</div>
<div>This course is an investigation of the world's ocean as an
integrated system driven by geological, chemical, physical,
and biological processes. Topics include origin and evolution
of the ocean basins, nature of the sea bottom, characteristics
of ocean water, and causes and effects of ocean currents and
circulation. An understanding of the ocean's role in the
health and evolution of the planet is stressed, with attention
to coastal areas and the animal and plant life in the sea.
Two and a half hours of lecture and one two-hour laboratory
each week.</div>
