Primary roles will include teaching introductory Biological Anthropology courses or leading multi-section introductory labs, and teaching upper-level undergraduate seminars. The ability to teach Human Biology (including Human Anatomy and related topics) is preferred for one of these positions, though not required. For each position specialization is open—we seek to hire dedicated teachers with excellent knowledge in their subject and a commitment to teaching students from diverse backgrounds, whose interests will complement and reinforce the Department’s strengths.

Each position has a teaching load of 24 teaching credits per academic year (4/4 teaching load, or four 3-credit classes per semester), and includes an expectation of service on programmatic, departmental, divisional, and college committees. Student advising duties, if any, will count toward the teaching load. Some evening or weekend responsibilities may be required.
Hunter is committed to active engagement with students and the community at large, and embraces equity, inclusiveness, and global awareness in all dimensions of our work.

We also seek candidates who can provide leadership in curricular initiatives, implement innovative teaching methods, and participate in program assessment, while pursuing service, public communication, or scholarship to advance learning in Biological Anthropology. Candidates must have an interest in working in a multicultural, urban higher education setting.
