Assistant Professor of Biology

Assistant Professor of Biology (Anatomy & Physiology)

St. Thomas Aquinas College invites applications for a tenure-track position as Assistant Professor of Biology (Anatomy & Physiology), to begin September 2022.

Situated in the College's new STEM School, this position will serve our undergraduate programs in Biology, Exercise Science, and General Education. Broadly trained biologists with expertise in anatomy and physiology are encouraged to apply. The successful candidate will teach Anatomy & Physiology lecture and labs; additional courses must satisfy program needs but may be tailored to the candidate's teaching interests and strengths. A willingness to engage students in research or project-based learning is preferred. Experience with scientific reasoning courses and outcomes assessment for a General Education audience is a plus.

Faculty duties include a 4:4 teaching load, student advisement, committee service, and curriculum development. The College prides itself on the high quality of the teaching of its faculty as well as on their scholarly contributions to their discipline; so successful candidates should address both areas in their application. College teaching experience and a PhD in Biology, or similar field, from an accredited institution are required; however, an advanced ABD will be considered with evidence of dissertation status.

Application process: A cover letter addressing the applicant's credentials and experiences as they relate to the position; a statement of teaching philosophy; curriculum vitae; sample course outline; and three letters of recommendation, at least one of which addresses the applicant's teaching should be sent to Dr. Bianca Wentzell, Interim Dean of the School of STEM, at bwentzel@stac.edu by November 15, 2021.
