Lecturer Pool in Department of Fisheries Biology; Academic Year 26

Department of Fisheries Biology Temporary Faculty Pool

We offer outstanding undergraduate and graduate (MS) programs in Fisheries Biology. We also have two affiliated cooperative programs, The Pacific Coast Ocean Observing System (PaCOOS) and one of only 40 such cooperative research units, CA Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit. We provide hands‑on, field‑oriented programs with a strong interplay between classroom theory and field laboratory practice. Our outstanding facilities include our Fish Hatchery, Fish Collection, the Research Vessel Coral Sea, and our Telonicher Marine Laboratory.

At Cal Poly Humboldt, we prepare our students to be successful by providing our majors with the knowledge, skills, and motivation required to ensure the conservation of fish and aquatic resources that are faced with increasing societal demands and increasing loss or degradation of habitat. Our students will leave with fish ecology skills, fisheries techniques skills, communication skills, quantitative skills, fisheries management skills, and critical thinking skills.

Cal Poly Humboldt sits on the traditional homelands of the Wiyot people in what is currently called Arcata, CA. The Wiyot people call the area Goudi'ni (over in the woods).

Humboldt currently has the largest percentage of Native American students in the CSU system and has over 30 Native American faculty and staff, many from local area California Indian tribes.

Cal Poly Humboldt is home to a number of leading Native American programs including the Indian Tribal Education and Personnel Program (ITEPP) and the Indian Natural Resource, Science and Engineering Program (INRSEP).
