* Demonstrated ability to teach college-level face-to-face lecture and laboratory courses.
* Working knowledge of U.S. livestock production and/or aquaculture production practices, including animal handling/welfare, aquatic biosecurity, and lab/field safety.
* Excellent communication and organizational skills; ability to collaborate with faculty, staff, students, and external stakeholders.
Desirable Qualifications
* Ph.D. or D.V.M. (farm-animal emphasis) or doctoral degree in aquaculture/fisheries or related field.
