BIOLOGY

Faculty compatible with a young-earth creationist philosophy to teach general education Biology courses.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

1. woohoo! I can spout bullshit!

might have to re-write my resume first.

[eleny]

2. You should SO do it!

Then tell us about your interview.

[Avalux]

3. lol - young-earth creationist philosophy.

So they aren't much concerned about biology being taught, they call the class biology and twist scientific facts to suit their own purposes. It would almost be worth taking the position to raise some hell and corrupt their pure little minds. :evilgrin:

[lindisfarne]

4. You'd think such a valuable instructor would get a higher salary.

Industry pays much more, even on a parttime basis.

[Richard Steele]

6. It's only a six hour course.

[lindisfarne]

7. Where do you see that it's a 6 hour course? It looks like a full term to

me. And the ad says "courses".

12. Sorry, that was a joke.

[alcibiades_mystery]

8. That's about standard for per course, per semester adjunct work

3,500 a course.

[lindisfarne]

9. It's on the low end of std, but you'd think they'd want a top-notch person

for this job. In fact, why aren't they making it a tenure-track position?

[alcibiades_mystery]

10. It's standard in the humanities

Not even low-end. :-(

[lindisfarne]

11. The position is in the sciences; salary range 2100-3500. Which is low

end of standard for the sciences, especially at the 2100 end. (It's not clear exactly what the class is but I'm assuming it's for a quarter or semester and about a 4-5 credit course). Anyone with a legitimate biology degree would go out and get a full time industry (non-academic) job before they'd take $2,100. Even community colleges pay more than that. Maybe the salary range reflects the caliber of biologist who would apply for such a teaching position.

A 14-week semester course meeting 5 hours a week = 80 hours teaching. Multiply by 3 to reflect (minimum) time spent preparing lectures, meeting with students, preparing and grading exams, grading other assignments. 320 hours. Even $3500 works out to just over $10/hour.

5. Easiest salary you could ever make

No matter what the question is, the answer is "God did it."

Class dismissed. End of semester. Where's my check? I'm outta here.

[Crankie Avalon]

13. At least they admit in writing it's "philosophy" rather than science. nt
