Job Description

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University’s Worldwide campus is currently hiring adjunct faculty to teach MSHF 640 – Human Physiology & Adaptation at our Worldwide campus.

Course Description

This course examines in depth the principles and critical elements of human physiology, to include how the human body maintains a steady state while adapting to outside conditions, a process called homeostasis. Included are human performance capabilities, challenges and adaptations in low and high-altitude/space flight, low-pressure and low-gravity environments, and other at-risk for human habitation environments. Specific topics include the physics of atmosphere, radiation environments, acceleration physiology, systemic physiological responses, sensorimotor interactions, environmental pathologies (e.g. circadian dysrhythmia, spatial disorientation, hypoxia, visual anomalies), and the effects of stimulants, disease and injury on human systems.

Please note that ERAU policy requires that all adjuncts be physically located within the United States while working for the University, including during training. Presently, we are able to support work for new adjuncts from all U.S. states except California.  ERAU does not support work from international locations with some limited exceptions for individuals who are residing and working from U.S. military bases. 

If selected for this role, the candidate will be required to provide proof of stated qualifications. This includes, but is not limited to, official transcripts, copies of professional licenses/certifications, documentation of military experience, and/or verified professional industry related experience.
