Applicants who are ABD are eligible to apply provided the degree has been completed prior to the start date for the position. The successful applicants will be committed to excellence in teaching at the undergraduate and graduate level and will have a strong record of research, mentoring students, and grantsmanship.
The assignment will include teaching a range of undergraduate and graduate courses in human and animal physiology, introductory biology, and courses in their specialty.
