• Image classification, object-based analysis, or automation workflows 
• Integration of GIS with environmental monitoring, sustainability analysis, or applied research 
• Exposure to scripting, automation, or modern GIS workflows (e.g., model building,  reproducible analysis) 

While deep specialization is not required, candidates should demonstrate a willingness and ability to introduce students to evolving GIS technologies and the future direction of the geospatial profession. 

Teaching & Student Engagement 

The instructor is expected to: 

• Teach in a hands-on, lab-centered environment 
• Support students with varying levels of technical background
