The Department of Nursing at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John's University invites applications for two full-time, 2-year fixed term faculty positions with potential of renewal. The positions begin August 2021.
The Department of Nursing has an engaged team of 14
teacher-scholars who have a broad range of specializations and
certifications. Small class sizes and hands-on learning are the
norm in both introductory and advanced nursing classes, labs, and
clinical. Our recently renovated simulation laboratory offers
state-of-the-art technology to enhance student
learning. https://www.csbsju.edu/nursing.
The College of Saint Benedict (CSB), a liberal arts college for
women, and Saint John's University (SJU), a liberal arts college
for men, are located in the central lakes area of Minnesota,
surrounded by more than 3,000 acres of pristine forests, prairies,
and lakes. The campuses are minutes away from St. Cloud, an
increasingly diverse regional center with a population of over
100,000, and 70 miles from Minneapolis and St. Paul. Some CSB/SJU
faculty and staff choose to reside locally, while others commute
from the Twin Cities. Both St. Cloud and the Twin Cities offer a
wide range of fine arts, cultural, dining, recreational, and
sporting opportunities.
CSB/SJU are Catholic colleges in the Benedictine tradition
enlivened by values of community, hospitality, stewardship, and
justice. The schools are dedicated to cultivating an equitable,
inclusive community founded on respect for all persons. Students,
staff and faculty from many diverse belief systems and backgrounds
collectively bring a rich dimension to the academic, cultural, and
religious experience at CSB/SJU. We welcome faculty who devote
themselves with passion and integrity to their disciplines and to a
transformative education of their students. Please view our
brochure regarding Higher
Education in the Catholic and Benedictine Tradition.
With a total enrollment of approximately 3,300 students, faculty
members develop relationships with students in small classroom
settings and have opportunities to work closely with students on
research projects, experiential learning experiences, and study
abroad programs. The recent initiatives to create a dynamic general
education curriculum and to develop plans for a new teaching and
learning center demonstrate strong institutional support for
faculty development. For further information, see http://www.csbsju.edu.
