Job Details



Buena Vista University is seeking excellent applicants for a full-time, tenure-track professor position with a focus on teaching in the Biomedical Sciences program. This position begins in August 2021. Buena Vista University emphasizes strong teaching skills and, specifically for this position, preparation of undergraduates interested in the health fields. Teaching expectations include a team-taught introductory course, upper level human physiology, both include laboratory sections, and the opportunity to teach or develop elective classes in their expertise. In addition, other classes in the anatomy and physiology area as well as introductory level course for non-majors will be required in support of the general education program.

The successful candidate must possess a Ph.D. in an appropriate biomedical science. Furthermore, a postdoctoral experience is highly preferred. Mentoring undergraduate research is a plus as the candidate will also have opportunity to mentor undergraduate research projects using generous internal funding. Buena Vista offers a very strong biomedical science program, delivered in a modern and well-equipped facility. In addition, service to undergraduate advising is expected. The teaching load is twelve contact-hours per semester.

Commitment to teaching in a liberal arts centered environment is needed. Likewise, service to the university is expected in the form of committee work, continuous professional development and maintaining pace with the field. Buena Vista values collegiality and an inclusive environment. To foster that objective, members of historically underrepresented groups in science are encouraged to apply.

To Apply

To apply, submit your letter of application, graduate school transcripts (photocopies acceptable with application; official copies will be required for appointment), teaching philosophy statement, current vita with the names of 4-6 professional references (including title, address, e-mail address and telephone number).
