The Senior Lecturer will also have important administrative responsibilities aligning our department’s coursework and degree program with the recommendations of the Vision and Change in Undergraduate Biology program spearheaded by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Finally, the Senior Lecturer will help guide and lead assessments that evaluate the success and effectiveness of the curriculum. This is a non-tenure track, regular rank renewable contract faculty position with no independent research requirement.
Applicants should have a PhD degree in biology or one of its subfields, significant experience in teaching either large classes or lab courses at the collegiate level, and prior experience with curriculum assessment and reform.
