Lecturer (Physiology)
School of Life Sciences
Arizona State University
The School of Life Sciences (SOLS) at Arizona State University
(ASU) invites applications for a full-time, benefits-eligible,
non-tenure-eligible Lecturer position with an anticipated start
date August 2022. The position is 80% teaching, 20% service .
Subsequent academic year renewals (Aug. 16 to May 15) are
contingent on satisfactory performance, availability of resources,
and the needs of the unit. Supplementary summer teaching may be
available.
We seek an individual who is dedicated to excellence in teaching;
is invested in developing inclusive curricula and teaching
approaches to support the success of our diverse students, many of
whom are underrepresented in STEM disciplines; and is excited to
collaborate with faculty members who are engaged in research and
education in physiology.
The successful candidate will be responsible for teaching and
revising undergraduate courses in anatomy and physiology (e.g., BIO
201 & BIO 202 (Human Anatomy and Physiology), BIO 360 (Animal
Physiology), BIO 361 (Animal Physiology lab) and related courses.
These courses are expected to be taught in both in-person and fully
online formats. In addition to teaching, responsibilities will
include supervising teaching assistants, developing course
materials, and collaborating with other faculty and staff involved
in the SOLS educational missions. This person may also be asked to
serve the school, college, and university in other service
capacities appropriate for the position.
The School of Life Sciences is a broadly interdisciplinary
community of undergraduates, M.S. and Ph.D. students, staff, and
faculty members who are committed to transforming science education
and research by making learning more accessible, inclusive, and
impactful through innovations in teaching and connections to
nationally recognized research and education programs such as the
Research in Inclusive STEM Education (RISE) Center. The School of
Life Sciences is embedded within the larger community at ASU, a
dynamic, progressive university dedicated to interdisciplinary
collaborations, rethinking university education, and integrating
excellence in research and teaching. The university has been ranked
#1 for innovation by the US News & World Report for the past
six years.
