Duties Performed in the Usual Course of the Job:

The Lecturer-Pool Faculty will teach undergraduate or graduate courses within the Department of Kinesiology, dependent upon an applicant’s academic background, experience, and licensure. Pool faculty contracts are for one semester, but may be renewed based on performance and need.

The Department of Kinesiology at SHSU includes a diverse group of faculty, students, and staff (https://www.shsu.edu/academics/health-sciences/about-the-college/faculty_staff_contacts.html#kinesiology). The department offers a variety of undergraduate and graduate degrees (https://www.shsu.edu/academics/health-sciences/kinesiology/).

The Department of Kinesiology at SHSU seeks to recruit and retain a diverse faculty. Qualified applicants with experience working in diverse settings and/or who demonstrate a commitment to serving diverse student populations are strongly encouraged to apply.

We are seeking candidates who demonstrate the ability to work collaboratively in and with socially, culturally, and economically diverse communities.

There are multiple options for places to live near our multiple campuses. Sam Houston’s main campus is located in Huntsville. The city of Huntsville is nestled in the East Texas Piney Woods and is centrally located on a direct route between Houston and Dallas. With a population of roughly 40,000 (excluding SHSU), Huntsville offers the simplicity of small-town life and easy access to surrounding larger cities including Conroe (where the College of Osteopathic Medicine is located), The Woodlands (where the School of Nursing and The Woodlands Center is located), and Bryan/College Station. Full of Texas history and charm, this county seat is home to multiple museums, annual festivities, antique stores, year-round outdoor activities, vineyards, golf courses, lakes, and a beautiful state park. In a little over an hour after leaving main campus, you can arrive in downtown Houston. Houston has consistently ranked as one of the most diverse cities in America and as one of the best “foodie” cities. It provides access to large entertainment venues and professional sporting events. If you prefer life on the water, Lake Conroe and Lake Livingston are a short commute, and Galveston Island and the Gulf coast are a two-hour drive
