The Geography Department at Middlebury College invites applicants for its GIS Teaching Fellows Program, designed to encourage the expansion of GIS instruction across the liberal arts curriculum.  We seek a recent doctoral recipient or advanced ABD candidate from any academic discipline who has applied GIS technologies and methods in their doctoral research and has demonstrated excellence in undergraduate teaching. The GIS Teaching Fellow will be appointed to a two-year term, to begin in September 2016. In the fall semester, the Fellow will assist Geography Department faculty in teaching the department’s Fundamentals of GIS course. In addition, the Fellow will participate in a weekly seminar focused on GIS pedagogy, during which the Fellow will develop a new GIS-based course related to his or her area of expertise. In the spring semester, the Fellow will jointly teach the Fundamentals course and their own newly developed course. The Teaching Fellow will be expected to be resident at Middlebury College between September-May during the fellowship.
