The "Range Master" at MIT is retiring, and they have posted an opening to find a replacement. There are actually two different links describing the position on MIT's web system:
Here's the short version:

And here's the longer one (you will need to click on the box labeled "Manager of MIT Shooting Center / Physical Education and Wellness Instructor":

The position is very multi-disciplinary. The Range Master is responsible for:
It is a 10-month-a-year full-time position, with benefits.
The salary range is $60K to $80K, depending on qualifications and experience.
The search committee will begin to review resumes on the 16th of February. Submissions that arrive after that will be considered as well, but only up to the point where they have identified a sufficient number of candidates to proceed to phone interviews.
Don't look at the job "requirements" and give up. I've known every Range Master going back 50 years, and none of them had all the qualifications listed when they started.
The Physical Education classes are a big part of the job. There are two "quarters" of classes taught during each of the regular academic semesters, and an additional set of classes during January. The class schedule is 3 classes a day, four days a week. All the classes are .22 rimfire target shooting. Pistol classes are shot on NRA bullseye ("Precision") targets, and the focus is on target shooting as a sport. These are not combat/defense classes. Experience teaching beginning shooters who aren't there for a job requirement (i.e. military or police) would be a big plus. Beyond that, it's largely a facilities management job.
