Lecturer In Equine Science And Management
The Department of Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences (ADVS) at Utah State University (USU) invites applications for a lecturer in equine science and management. This is a 9-month academic year (AY) faculty position with an assignment of 95% teaching (including instruction and applied/clinical responsibilities) and 5% service in the S.J. and Jessie
E. Quinney College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (QANR).
Excellence in teaching, mentorship, and applied instruction is central to the mission of ADVS. The successful candidate will contribute to undergraduate instruction in areas such as basic horsemanship, horse production and management, equine evaluation, and equine industry practices. Teaching assignments will align with departmental needs and the candidate's expertise.
Instruction will occur primarily at the USU Sam Skaggs Family Equine Education Center, which includes a heated indoor arena (105' × 300'), outdoor arena (150' × 300'), breeding and foaling facilities, stall barns, and modern classroom space. The center maintains a herd of 80 to 100 horses that support instruction in riding, reproduction, training, and equine-assisted services.
In addition to teaching and mentoring students, the successful candidate will contribute to the day-to-day function of the teaching program, including coordination of horse use and support of facility operations in collaboration with the Equine Center Director. The position includes advising the Western Equestrian Team and requires flexibility for occasional evening, weekend, and travel commitments.
The equine program is experiencing sustained growth and evolution, and this position offers the opportunity to contribute to the continued refinement and future direction of equine teaching and student experiences at USU.
Utah State University prepares graduates for meaningful careers across the equine industry. In addition to Logan-based facilities, USU Extension operates the Bastian Agricultural Center in Salt Lake County, providing additional opportunities for outreach, programming, and regional events.
