  Oregon State University (http://oregonstate.edu/jobs)

  Corvallis, Oregon

The Department of Food Science and Technology seeks nominations and applications for a Fermentation Instructor/Advisor. This will be a full-time (1.0 FTE), 9-month, fixed-term appointment: 50% teaching, 40% advising and 10% service. 

 

The position will support the instructional and advising needs of the undergraduate Fermentation Science option program in Food Science and Technology. Primary focus in instruction will be on the laboratory sections of the wine and brewing production courses. Teaching in other fermentation-related courses and in the basic science laboratory courses required in the option will be expected as a function of need.  Advising responsibilities will focus largely on the needs of fermentation science option students, but may include students outside this option as well.

 

Teaching

Develop and teach new sections of the winemaking and brewing laboratory courses, and participate in teaching other courses that support the Fermentation Sciences curriculum.

 

Advising

Advise undergraduate students who are registered in the Fermentation Sciences and Enology

& Viticulture options in the Food Science and Technology major.  Advising of some undergraduates outside of these options may be assigned as needed to balance overall advising responsibilities within the Department.  Maintain current knowledge of department, college, and university curriculum requirements, academic regulations, and procedures to effectively advise students.

 

Service

Participate in Department meetings, committees, and other appropriate activities.  Serve on College and University committees as appropriate. Work with the fermentation sector of the food/beverage industry to develop scholarships and internship opportunities for Fermentation Science students.
