Lecturer (nGAP) in Botany at Rhodes University

Main Objectives

• All academics are responsible for disseminating knowledge (teaching and learning), creating knowledge (research) and community engagement, and recognising differences in executing these responsibilities within the various departments and Faculties. Academics are also expected to assume administrative, management, and/or leadership duties at the departmental, faculty, and/or university levels and contribute to their profession.

The Requirements

• At least a Masters’ degree in terrestrial plant ecophysiology. Preference will be given to candidates with a PhD or who have made significant progress towards completing a PhD in terrestrial plant ecophysiology with a focus on climate change.
• Tutoring, facilitation, or conference presentation experience required. No teaching experience is required, but teaching experience in plant function and/or plant physiology, as well as plant response to climate change, will be an advantage.
• No research supervision is required.
• Emerging track record of research publication and/or conference presentations.
• Some administrative or management experience, albeit in informal contexts, e.g., student or sports clubs, work experience.
