About Unity:
At Unity Environmental University we are on a mission to make environmental education accessible and affordable to all. Our unique model combines a functional hierarchy and project-based structure through our four Sustainable Education Business Units (SEBUs) to promote collaboration and innovation (Distance Education, Sustainable Ventures, Unity @ Pineland). We prioritize our students' needs above all else, offering a variety of modalities, including hybrid, in-person, hyflex, and online. Our innovative and inclusive culture prepares students to tackle real-world challenges and cultivate the next generation of environmental professionals and leaders who can make a positive impact on our world.
Our Mission:
We are dedicated to delivering quality education and experiences that produce outstanding environmentally competent professionals and inspire individuals from all walks of life to steward sustainable ecosystems.
About Enterprise Education:
Enterprise Education provides an entirely asynchronous, online learning experience that adapts to the unique circumstances of each student. Our fully accredited bachelor's and master's degree programs, as well as non-degree credits, empower learners to shape their own educational journey. With 8 five-week terms for undergraduates and 5 eight-week terms for graduate students, our model offers unparalleled flexibility. You can learn at your own pace, and take breaks as needed. By using your everyday environment as your laboratory, you'll integrate your studies into your daily life. This makes our education ideal for busy professionals who seek to advance their careers while still honoring their commitments. We are committed to empowering our students to become the changemakers our world needs, wherever they are.
The Opportunity:
Unity Environmental University seeks individuals interested in consulting as Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to develop one or more courses in the new Environmental Engineering program. All courses in the program are delivered asynchronously online in 5-week terms. All courses in the Environmental Engineering program incorporate an applied project that spans the subject matter of the course. SMEs will work collaboratively to develop the curricula with the program director and learning experience designer. We are seeking candidates interested in harnessing the capabilities of AI while developing online courses in Material and Energy Balances or Environmental Fate and Transport.
The course in Material and Energy balances will practice integrating knowledge of chemistry, math, and physics to address real-world problems, tackle complex environmental issues and utilize the necessary equations to resolve environmental issues. Examples will include solving environmental engineering mass and energy flow problems as well as single phase and multiple phase equilibrium problems.
The course in Environmental Fate and Transport will cover the theory and application of modeling and simulation in environmental engineering include environmental transport in air, groundwater and surface water as well as modeling remediation of soil, sediment, and/or groundwater (e.g., recovery, ex-situ/in-situ treatment). The course focuses on model development, calibration, validation, and the use of simulation software to support environmental decision-making and policy development.
Candidates with collaborative experiences in interdisciplinary settings that span the natural, physical, and social sciences will be reviewed favorably.
