Lecturer, Geospatial Analysis in Planning and Policy The Department of Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning (UEP) at Tufts University invites applications for a non tenure-track Lecturer in Geospatial Analysis, beginning in Fall 2015. We seek a colleague with primary expertise in applied geospatial analysis as applied to sustainability, environment, or community dynamics. Knowledge of ArcGIS is required, and experience with Python and the design of spatial models is preferred. Expertise in complementary analytical methods such as spatial statistics, statistical analysis or using digital technology for visualization is a plus. A Ph.D. in planning/policy, geography, or other related fields is required. A demonstrated record of teaching effectiveness is preferred. The candidate will be expected to develop and teach basic and more advanced courses in geospatial analysis at both undergraduate and graduate levels, serve as a thesis advisor to graduate students, and work collaboratively in an interdisciplinary department. This is a teaching position, and the teaching load is six courses per year, one of which can be thesis advising. Tufts University is a private, coeducational institution, whose main campus serves approximately 5,000 undergraduates and 1,500 graduate students in a broad spectrum of programs.
