Position Description:
The Department of Biological Sciences at North Dakota State University invites applications for a 9-month non-tenure-track Professor of Practice position in Anatomy and Physiology. This position is 80% teaching, 10% research, and 10% service. Upon satisfactory performance, this position is renewable and eligible for promotion to Associate and Full Professor of Practice. Teaching duties include Anatomy and Physiology lectures and labs (both online and face-to-face), with the potential for developing and teaching other courses. With the role of research at 10%, limited research expectations would be in the area of online learning, discipline-based education, or biomedical fields. Start-up funding will be provided for travel, professional development, and course development. Starting salary for this position will be $67,000.
Minimum Qualifications:
Candidates must have: 1) An earned PhD by the time of appointment in biology or a biology-related field or in science education from an accredited institution; 2) experience teaching anatomy and physiology lectures or labs; 3) evidence of a commitment to teaching and student learning at the undergraduate level; 4) demonstrated experience with online teaching; 5) effective oral and written communication skills; and 6) a demonstrated ability to interact and collaborate effectively with a diversity of colleagues and students.
Preferred Qualifications:
Preference will be given to candidates with demonstrated experience in: 1) serving as instructor of record for both face-to-face and online courses, 2) using evidence-based pedagogies to build a student-centered learning environment, 3) experience in curriculum design/development, 4) collaborating with other instructors on course design.
Application:
Applications must include: a cover letter, a teaching statement (4 pages max), a curriculum vitae, and a list of three professional references. We are especially interested in recruiting and retaining a diverse faculty to maintain the excellence of the University and to offer students richly varied disciplines, perspectives, and ways of knowing and learning. To that end, we are implementing an anonymized search process. Anonymized materials are those that remove any reference to candidate or advisor names, institution names, and journal names. This process increases inclusivity and constrains evaluation of the material on the basis of merit.
We are requesting that applicants prepare an anonymized version of their Teaching Statement. Within the Teaching Statement, applicants are asked to remove any names of researchers, institutions, teachers/instructors, organizations that funded work, or journals in which that work was published. The Teaching Statement should outline major pedagogical goals and instructional practices used to meet those goals, a description of experience teaching Anatomy and Physiology in addition to online teaching, description of what your research program might be (keeping in mind it is 10% of the position), and a plan for using inclusive teaching practices to promote student success, especially those from diverse backgrounds.
