Biological Sciences: The Department of Biology at Hartwick College invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track appointment at the rank of Assistant Professor starting in August 2022, pending final administrative approval. We seek candidates with expertise in physiology, with preference given to those with research accessible to undergraduates in a small-college environment. Minimum qualifications include Ph.D. by the time of the appointment; undergraduate teaching experience is preferred. Specific teaching assignments will include anatomy and physiology for nursing majors, and other courses for science and non-science majors in the candidate’s area of expertise. These could include nutritional sciences and possibly general education courses, including first-year FlightPath courses and others that complement current offerings. Teaching load will average 20 semester credit hours or their equivalent per academic year, and all faculty members teach during the College’s distinctive four-week January Term. The successful candidate must be committed to excellence and innovation in undergraduate teaching. Tenure-track faculty are expected to actively engage in scholarly or creative activities. Research collaborations with the Hartwick College Center for Craft Food and Beverage and the Hartwick College Grain Innovation Center are possible. Committee service, including campus wide and departmental governance, and academic advising are expected for re-appointment, tenure, and promotion.
