About Sterling College

Sterling College is deeply committed to its mission of advancing ecological thinking and action. As a premier, environmentally focused liberal arts college, we are steadfast in our dedication to education, sustainability, and the well-being of both the planet and its inhabitants. Our emphasis on experiential learning and real-world application has made us a leader in fostering talent dedicated to correcting environmental degradation. To fulfill this vision, we are actively seeking qualified applicants who share our commitment to environmental stewardship, experiential pedagogy, interdisciplinary education, and community enrichment.

In pursuit of its vision, Sterling College has received national attention for becoming one of the first institutions in the U.S. to divest in fossil fuels. The College has also been recognized for its sustainability initiatives by Sierra Magazine and has earned a STARS Gold Rating from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. Sterling is also one of only 10 colleges and universities recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a “Work College” for the integration of experiential and applied learning in our campus culture and curriculum.

At Sterling College, we recognize that the success of our mission is deeply interconnected with the well-being of our faculty and staff. Our benefits package and commitment to work-life balance are designed to support you personally and professionally. Located in picturesque Craftsbury Common, Vermont, our campus serves as both a workplace and a playground, offering year-round recreational activities like Nordic skiing, mountain biking, and hiking, all within driving distance to major cities such as Boston and Montreal. Sterling acknowledges that the land on which we gather—the place now known as Vermont—is the traditional and unceded territory of the Abenaki. We also learn in-and-from a range of landscapes that belong to other indigenous peoples.

Join us in our pursuit to educate and inspire the next generation of environmental leaders. Seize this opportunity to make a tangible impact in a community that values your expertise and vision. Become a part of Sterling College, where your work extends beyond a job description and contributes to a more sustainable and just world.
