DUTIES
The Department for Communication and Visual Arts is seeking a sessional instructor to teach FIRE 2420: Wildfire Communications in the Winter 2026 semester, to be delivered online synchronously.
In this course students consider the core principles and practices integral to addressing, articulating, and communicating about Wildfires within British Columbia, Canada, and globally. Students explore various methods of relaying pertinent and timely information prior to, during, and within the aftermath of wildfires. By examining key theories and models, as well as the impact of innovations in media, students will consider the ethical implications for the citizen, the role of social responsibility, and recognize these frameworks outside of dominant cultural constructions as applicable to and, perhaps, dependent upon diverse cultures and communities.

Candidates presenting field experience must possess a minimum of 15 years of operational emergency management experience, with a strong preference for wildfire operations. This must include direct incident experience and dedicated work in tactical wildfire communications. Demonstrated experience in teaching, instruction, or training delivery is required.
