Description of Position:Description of Position: The CLC Horticulture program offers four degree options and four certificate options. Programs in landscape design, landscape construction, floriculture and natural areas management provide multiple learning opportunities for students. Students are primarily seeking career preparation as the outcome of their CLC education, although some are preparing for transfer or taking courses as electives. The Horticulture building houses two greenhouses, a science lab, a floral design classroom, as well as a general classroom and offices. A full-time horticulturist assists in the operation of the greenhouses and preparation of materials. A review of the program mission is in progress and the successful applicant will have experience in or understanding of program development and the ability to establish effective partnerships with local employers and industry representatives.
Responsibilities of this position include chairing the Horticulture program, overseeing the Horticulture building and greenhouses, and teaching horticulture courses. Other responsibilities include, but are not limited to, academic advisement, curriculum development, recruitment and retention, and serving on college committees.
Qualifications Required:
* Bachelor’s degree in Horticulture or closely related field.
* Master’s degree or a willingness to complete a Master’s degree prior to award of tenure status.
* Experience in and understanding of horticulture as a career field, including knowledge of employment trends and opportunities.
