CBS is committed to excellence in undergraduate education and the successful applicants will join a dynamic team whose primary focus is quality instruction and the scholarship of teaching and learning in the biological sciences. These are regular positions that emphasize teaching, course development, and scholarship associated with college teaching. The successful applicants will teach genetics and other courses, work with a team of colleagues to develop innovative methods for undergraduate instruction, and engage in research and publication related to teaching and curriculum development. Opportunities also exist for conducting bench research in collaboration with existing laboratories in the department. Both positions involve teaching a genetics laboratory course, as well as upper division genetics lecture-based courses. One position also emphasizes cell biology and the other emphasizes developmental biology. This latter position involves the design and implementation of a developmental biology laboratory. Essential qualifications for both positions include a Ph.D. in the biological sciences, or a related discipline, and at least two years of post-doctoral experience.
