Assistant Professor of Biology

1 month ago

Kalamazoo, United States Kalamazoo College Full time

The Department of Biology at Kalamazoo College invites applications for a tenure-track appointment at the Assistant Professor level beginning September 2025. A Ph.D. (or evidence of imminent completion) is required; post doctoral experience is preferred. Salary competitive and consistent with level of experience. Candidates are expected to have high aptitude and interest in undergraduate teaching, a commitment to the liberal arts, and a desire to involve undergraduates in scholarship both inside and outside the classroom. Kalamazoo College has made a commitment to inclusive excellence. We especially encourage applications from candidates whose personal background and whose intellectual and pedagogical approaches to the discipline will be effective in attracting and retaining historically underrepresented students. The successful applicant will demonstrate a strong commitment to working with students, faculty and staff from diverse social, cultural, and economic backgrounds.

We seek a broadly trained neurobiologist. The successful hire will teach in both the core and advanced biology curriculum. Core responsibilities will include regular participation in a first-year biology course (familiarity with the 2011 AAAS Vision and Change report would be an asset) and an introductory Cell and Molecular Biology course with associated lab. In addition, our new colleague will teach at least one 300-level lecture/laboratory course in their area of expertise, and they will contribute to the college’s interdepartmental Neuroscience concentration. The biology department graduates about 50 majors each year, including many who pursue graduate-level work in the discipline.

Kalamazoo College is a highly selective nationally known liberal arts college offering an integrated undergraduate experience that weaves a traditional liberal arts curriculum into educational experiences in both domestic and international settings. It is a member of the Posse Program and home of the Arcus Center for Social Justice Leadership. The campus is located in a diverse and vibrant city in southwestern Michigan, midway between Chicago and Detroit, and is the home of the Kalamazoo Promise. The Kalamazoo area encompasses a community of 335,000, which supports several college and university campuses along with numerous civic arts and cultural associations. Thirty-five miles from Lake Michigan, the area offers many opportunities for outdoor activities. The college’s 145-acre Lillian Anderson Arboretum, a 10-15 minute drive from campus, provides substantial opportunities for teaching and research in a field setting.

Review of applications will commence October 1, 2024, and will continue until the position is filled. All applications must include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of research interests/plan, teaching philosophy with discussion of diversity/equity/inclusion, and transcripts from both undergraduate and graduate school (unofficial is acceptable). Three letters of recommendation are required, addressed to the Biology Search Committee and emailed directly from referees to BiologySearch@kzoo.edu with the subject line in the format: lastname_firstname .

Kalamazoo College encourages candidates who will contribute to the cultural diversity of the College to apply and identify themselves if they wish. Equal Opportunity Employer.
