Mycology (Professional and Continuing Education) (Tenure Track Faculty)
About The Position
The Evergreen State College seeks a full-time regular (tenure-track equivalent) faculty member to teach mycology and biology at the undergraduate level. The faculty member will teach courses in a Mycology Certificate, a general biology sequence, and related subjects within their areas of competence. They will also collaboratively develop team-taught, interdisciplinary offerings with faculty across disciplines, including the social sciences, humanities, business, arts, computer science, and physical sciences. The role is part of Evergreen’s School of Professional and Continuing Education, where classes are taught in the evenings and on weekends. The faculty member should be prepared to teach in person and online. The ideal candidate is a scholar-practitioner who combines rigorous science with the ability to connect fungal biology to environmental and human health applications, industry trends, and emerging career paths, and who is interested in innovative, collaborative pedagogy and working with diverse and underserved populations. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States at the time of hire. Employment-based visa sponsorship may be considered depending on the candidate’s current immigration status. The College is currently unable to sponsor new H-1B petitions that could potentially incur the $100,000 fee announced in September 2025. Regular employment is equivalent to tenure-track at other colleges; the continuing contract and conversion process is described in the Collective Bargaining Agreement, Article 11.
