Instructor of Geomatics

Description:

The Geomatics Department (Klamath Falls campus) is seeking applications for an academic full-time, renewable Geomatics faculty Instructor position. The Geomatics Department is part of the College of Engineering, Technology, and Management at Oregon Tech. This is the oldest BS Surveying program in the nation, with 71 years of continuous ABET (formerly ECPD) accreditation.

Oregon Tech’s Department of Geomatics is committed to inclusive thought and action in support of our diverse community. Individuals from historically underrepresented groups and all those who share our commitment to inclusivity and passion for the strength of our diversity are strongly encouraged to apply.

The primary duty for this position is the instruction of our departmental Geomatics courses. Geomatics is a student-centric department. Faculty are responsible for teaching both their classes and any associated labs. This dynamic learning environment is one aspect that attracts students to our programs. The department maintains attractive labs with modern surveying equipment.

Candidates must possess a strong desire and the ability to teach courses from freshman through upper division. A strong background in several areas including plane surveying, construction surveying, route design, subdivision design, legal aspects of boundaries, and a working knowledge of geodesy, photogrammetry, remote sensing, UAS mapping, and map projections is required. Other skills such as experience in community service projects and contract work would also be desirable. The Geomatics Department has start-up funding to further the applied research interests of the successful candidate.

The BS GIS and BS Surveying options are now offered fully online as of fall 2023. The department’s national advertising has shown promising results. A state-wide Surveying Taskforce recently initiated efforts to recruit surveying students to address the critical shortage of land surveyors. Enrollment growth offers the potential for additional tenure-track faculty positions.
