University of Richmond: Assistant Professor of Biology
The Department of Biology at the University of Richmond invites applications for a full-time tenure track position at the rank of Assistant Professor of Biology for the 2020-21 academic year. We seek a broadly-trained biologist who will excel in inclusive, undergraduate teaching and engage undergraduate students in a productive research program. Candidates should have a doctoral degree, post-doctoral experience, and expertise in the field of genetics and/or genomics. The successful applicant is expected to teach introductory courses in the major, including Integrated Biological Principles I, which focuses on molecular and cellular biology within the context of evolution (syllabus link), and an upper level genetics course. We are especially interested in recruiting individuals who have interest and experience in broadening access and inclusivity in STEM disciplines, which aligns with the University’s strategic plan (https://strategicplan.richmond.edu/).
The Department of Biology provides a broad biology education within the context of the liberal arts. We value teaching that emphasizes inclusive, evidence-based pedagogies and high impact practices, such as course-based research experiences. We actively contribute to our fields of study through peer-reviewed research. We are firmly committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion and aim to give all students interested in biology the opportunity and skills needed to succeed. We are looking for colleagues that share these goals and who will pursue continued growth in these areas. The University supports these values and offers opportunities for continued faculty development.
