TEACHING
Teach lower- and upper-division undergraduate courses for life science majors and/or the University Core Curriculum, as assigned by the Chair. Lower-division courses taught will include regular participation in the Introductory Biology Experience (IBE), a three-term series required for all life science majors. Candidates will also be expected to develop and teach at least one new upper-division course in their area of expertise or adopt and modify a course currently in the Biology catalog. Candidates may also choose to develop a course that satisfies a University Core requirement. SCU is on the quarter system and a typical load is two courses per quarter. When teaching laboratory courses, a typical load is one lecture and two laboratory sections of that same course per quarter. Teaching responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the following:Conducting and appearing in person at all assigned class meetings in a timely and prepared manner, demonstrating a command of the discipline and skill in effective presentation.Assigning and evaluating students’ written work, projects, and exams that align with course learning objectives, and providing timely feedback to students.Holding weekly office hours.Assigning and submitting student grades that are appropriate, accurate, and fair measures of student performance to the Office of the Registrar by the designated deadline.Seeking regular student feedback and updating courses as appropriate and consistent with the development of the sub-discipline.When teaching in the IBE, working collaboratively and effectively with teaching partners and laboratory staff, demonstrating excellent teamwork and leadership skills.Develop and teach courses that contribute to curriculum development in Biology and/or the University Core.Assess student learning in their courses following known best practices.Provide informed advice and mentoring to undergraduate Biology majors and other students in their courses.Fulfill other instructional or academic duties as may be assigned by the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences or by the Chair of the Biology Department.RESEARCH

We value work that advances the diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives of the university whether in research topics, research that expands the generalizability of findings in the field, populations that the work serves, or the diversity of the participants, methods used, or research team. We endorse open science practices that promote transparency, replicability, and ethical scholarship.SERVICE
Provide effective service to the Department of Biology, the College, the University, and profession through contributions other than teaching and scholarship. This can include service on committees, participation in professional organizations and activities, leadership, and community service performed by virtue of professional expertise or association with the university as appropriate to rank and experience.Job Requirements:
