Geography is often marketed by colleges and universities in conjunction with GIS, many stand-alone Geographers gaining some interest from their employers by mainly advertising their GIS skills
The ability to teach such courses as Introduction to Remote Sensing, Introduction to GIScience, and advanced versions of these topics, is required, and the ability to teach Web mapping and/or Programming for GIS is a plus. The candidate might also teach a research applications course in GIS/Remote Sensing course in the area of his/her research expertise
