Sacred Heart University invites applications from qualified candidates for a full-time, non-tenure track position at the rank of Assistant Teaching Professor in the Department of Biology.

Applicants are expected to demonstrate the potential for excellence in undergraduate biology teaching, particularly in foundational Biology courses for both majors and non-majors, and possess a strong appreciation for the mission of the University and its student-centered focus.

The ideal candidate would teach in both our Concepts in Biology sequence for science majors and our Anatomy & Physiology sequence. The potential for the candidate to also develop a foundational course in their area of interest to offer to non-majors would also be welcome. The successful candidate will contribute their presence to a collegial and collaborative environment, consciously applying our mission and values to create spaces where all may thrive and succeed.

Qualifications: Candidates with an advanced degree in Biology or a related field in the biological sciences are invited to apply (ABD considered). PhD, significant teaching and post-doctoral experience preferred.

Applications instructions: Qualified candidates should upload: a letter of application, curriculum vitae, statement of teaching philosophy, advanced degree transcript (unofficial is sufficient for the application process), and contact information for three letters of reference. Three current letters of recommendation will be required if selected for a screening interview.
