The Department of Biology (www.baylor.edu/biology) in the College of Arts & Sciences (www.baylor.edu/artsandsciences) seeks applications for a Lecturer position to teach multiple sections of undergraduate Physiology including human anatomy (majors), human physiology (majors) and human anatomy & physiology (allied health). Lecturers are also expected to teach in the undergraduate introductory biology sequence.

Lecturers should develop educational strategies that incorporate student-centered learning activities for lecture and innovative curricula for lab courses, and promote a culture of discovery through excellence in teaching. The department has developed and encourages the use of an undergraduate Learning Assistant program to facilitate active learning. While research is not a requirement of the position, the department has future plans to encourage lecturers to participate in course-based undergraduate research experiences.

This position is a 10-month appointment during the academic year. Teaching opportunities during summers may be available depending on student demand. Though not a tenure-track position, Regular Lecturers are full-time faculty and are eligible to progress toward the rank of Senior Lecturer. Salary is commensurate with experience and qualifications.

Qualifications
Successful applicants will hold a Ph.D. or equivalent in a biologically related discipline and will have a track record of developing student-centered learning activities that includes developing course-based undergraduate research experiences or other innovative approaches.

The Department of Biology keenly values diversity amongst its faculty and students and believes it is essential to achieving excellence.

Application Instructions
Applications will be accepted until the position is filled, but to ensure full consideration, complete applications must be submitted by September 30, 2021. To apply, submit a letter of application, a 1-2 page teaching statement, prior research statement, a current curriculum vitae, a copy of an official transcript showing the highest degree conferred (if the Ph.D. is in progress, a copy of the official transcript of completed Ph.D. hours should also be submitted), and names and contact information of 3 individuals that the search committee can contact for letters of recommendation.
