The Evergreen State College seeks a full-time regular* faculty member to teach mycology and biology at the undergraduate level.
Applicants should hold a PhD in Mycology, Biology, or a related field with expertise in mycology. The ideal candidate is a scholar-practitioner: both rigorous in their science and comfortable connecting fungal biology to environmental and human health applications, industry trends, and emerging career paths. We seek colleagues who have a strong interest in innovative, collaborative pedagogy, and who have experience working with diverse and underserved populations.
The faculty member in this position will teach courses in a Mycology Certificate, a general biology sequence, and related subjects in the faculty member’s areas of competence. The faculty member will also be expected to collaboratively develop team-taught, interdisciplinary offerings with faculty members from a variety of other disciplines in the social sciences, humanities, business, arts, computer science, or other physical sciences. The faculty member will join 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 classes in person and online.
*Regular is equivalent to tenure-track at other colleges. A complete description of the continuing contract and conversion process can be found in the Collective Bargaining Agreement, article 11.
**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; however, the College is unable, at this time, to sponsor new H1B petitions that could potentially incur the $100,000 fee announced in September 2025.
