The successful candidate will be responsible for instruction in all levels of the TRAL program. The successful candidate will also be expected to contribute to a re-envisioned TRAL curriculum and activities, with the potential to develop and teach new courses.

Bend, called the "outdoor playground of the West,", is world famous for both its outdoor pursuits and pristine beauty. A warm inviting mountain getaway intertwined with a cosmopolitan appeal is what everyone discovers when arriving to this central Oregon city.

The anticipated start date is March 15, 2024.
