Lake Tahoe Community College – EMS Faculty Position

Greetings All!

Lake Tahoe Community College (LTCC) announces an opportunity to work as a full-time, tenure-track Emergency Medical Services (EMS) faculty member.

The Emergency Medical Services program at LTCC consistently serves up to 40+ Full Time Equivalent Students (FTES) annually through Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), Emergency Medical Responder (EMR), Wilderness First Responder (WFR), Wilderness First Aid (WFA), and related courses. EMS is central to the college’s commitment to growing its Public Safety Training program, and nearly every section offered in the past two+ years has had a student waiting list. Adding a full-time, tenure-track EMS faculty member has the potential to significantly expand course section offerings, with the goal of doubling the number of sections and FTES within two to three years of start date. Courses are offered face-to-face, online, and in the Rising Scholars Program. The successful candidate will be expected to be qualified and willing to teach in each of these modalities, but primarily to build out face-to-face course offerings.

It is the mission of the Lake Tahoe Community College Emergency Medical Services program to provide stackable certificates en route to associate’s degrees and related career pathways. The program is dedicated to helping students fill in-demand, high-wage jobs in the Allied Health and Public Safety industries. The department fosters the values of diversity, equity and inclusion as well as rigorous investigation, open-mindedness, collaboration, self-understanding, and respect for knowledge.

This position is a 177-day contract over fall, winter, and spring quarters with Emergency Medical Services program responsibilities over the summer months to be compensated via additional stipend. This position is exempt from overtime compensation. 10 days of sick leave accrue annually.
