Job description: Department of Native American Studies Temporary Faculty Pool

The Department

Native American Studies at Cal Poly Humboldt is more than an academic discipline. We’re a continuation of Indigenous knowledge from time immemorial, presenting a depth of Native American experience from a distinctly tribal perspective.

Cal Poly Humboldt is not only a proven leader in serving Native American students in California, but our broad program appeals to non-Native students who are passionate about issues of social justice, sustainable living and natural resource management.
