Candidates should be committed to teaching excellence and to building a strong research record. Instructional assignments may include:
Introduction to Environmental Planning Methods, Local Government Planning, Environmental Conflict Resolution, Public Land Use Policy and Management, Natural Resource Conservation, Environmental Planning and Policy Capstone, Natural Resource Management in Protected Areas, Environmental Impact Assessment, Sustainability Analysis, Forest and Rangeland Policy, and Humans and Fire. The hired instructor will only teach a sub‑set of the listed courses. Instructional assignments will be consistent with the programmatic needs of the department and students.

The primary professional responsibilities of instructional faculty members are: teaching, research, scholarship, creative activity, and service to the University, profession and to the community. These responsibilities include: advising students, participation in campus and system‑wide communities, maintaining office hours, working collaboratively and productively with colleagues, and participation in traditional academic functions. Probationary faculty are typically provided ongoing mentorship to be a successful member of the faculty.

During the first two years of the probationary period, teaching responsibilities will be reduced by approximately one course each semester. The reduced teaching load supports the establishment of research, scholarship and/or creative activities required for retention, tenure, and promotion.

Cal Poly Humboldt also continues to build unique and innovative place‑based learning opportunities for students, bridging multiple disciplines across the spectrum. Cal Poly Humboldt is a leader in "learning communities" that build relationships between students, faculty, staff, administrators, and the community. These communities incorporate environmental and social responsibility.
