*Lecturer in Oceanography at Boston College*

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.

Information about the department can be found at
www.bc.edu/eesciences <http://www.bc.edu/eesciences>. Anyone interested 
should contact me, the department chair, at john.ebel at bc.edu 
<mailto:john.ebel at bc.edu>. I would be happy to answer any questions 
about the course, academic calendar, work load, etc. Thank you in 
advance for your help.


GE 157 Oceanography (Fall: 4 credits)
Corequisite: GE 158 Lab
Satisfies Natural Science Core Requirement
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.
