Instructor Job Opening: Climate Adaptation for Health
Job description: The Yale Center on Climate Change and Health hosts a virtual 18-week, three-course Certificate on Climate Change and Health for non-matriculating working professionals. This Certificate program equips working professionals with knowledge and insights on climate change and health through material delivered in three courses: Introduction to Climate Change and Health, Climate Adaptation for Human Health, and Communicating Climate Change & Health. The Certificate material is currently being revamped and updated for a new cohort of students in early 2023. We currently seek applications for an instructor for the Climate Adaptation for Human Health course. With the guidance of the Certificate Program Director and Yale experts on online course design, each instructor will be expected record six weeks of lecture content (approximately 90 minutes of material per week), design assessment materials, communicate with students by email and through the course learning management system (e.g., post announcements), attend one weekly discussion group, and oversee a Discussion Group Leader who leads the discussion groups, grades assessments, and communicates regularly with students. All material should be delivered in English. The instructor will receive a Lecturer appointment at the Yale School of Public Health.
Qualifications: Instructors are expected to have climate change and health expertise, particularly focused in climate adaptation. Expertise can take the form of authorship of scientific reports or peerreviewed publications and/or professional/policy experience. The instructor should also be a skilled and effective communicator and educator in English. Doctoral-level training in climate and health or related disciplines is preferred.
Compensation: Compensation for the first course offering, which will include designing and recording the course lecture content, designing the assessment materials, communicating with students, attending a weekly discussion group, and supervising the Discussion Group Leader, will be $16,000. The compensation for each subsequent course offering, in which the instructor will visit discussion groups, communicate with students, and supervise the teaching assistant, will range from $1,200 to $2,000 depending on hours spent. We expect to offer the adaptation course twice per year.
How to apply: We seek a candidate who can design and record lectures by early 2023. Candidates should submit their resume (i.e., CV) and a statement of qualifications and interest (no more than 500 words) to Dr. Daniel Carrión at daniel.carrion@yale.edu. If available, candidates are encouraged to send a link to a lecture or research talk. Candidates may be asked to give a lecture or research talk, particularly if they are unable to submit a recording of their teaching. The search will continue until a suitable candidate is identified.
