ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, VERTEBRATE BIOLOGIST

Assistant Professor of Biology, Tenure Track, John Carroll University

The Department of Biology at John Carroll University seeks a vertebrate biologist for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor. 

Candidates should have a Ph.D., with peer-reviewed publications in their field; competitive applicants will have teaching experience and/or postdoctoral training.  The successful applicant will teach the two-semester Human Anatomy and Physiology course for students interested in allied health professions, as well as courses in our introductory sequence for majors.  He/she also will develop upper-level courses in his/her specialty, such as ichthyology, mammalogy, or ornithology, and may teach biology courses for non-science majors.  Our department has a long-standing tradition of hiring broadly-trained scientists who can teach courses that span two of three majors within biology. 

Additionally, we desire a candidate who will embrace the department’s emphasis on evolution, the environment, and ethics in science.  Research interest is open, but the applicant must be able to develop an active research program involving undergraduate and M.S. students and be able to publish regularly. 

To apply, please submit by Dec. 21, 2009: letter of interest; curriculum vitae; teaching philosophy; research statement; unofficial transcripts; and three reference letters to:
