| Job Description | The Department of Biology in the School of Science and Technology at CBU invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor in Biology with an emphasis in Human Anatomy and Human Biology. This position will commence on July 1, 2024. The successful candidate will perform the duties and responsibilities outlined in Article 18 in the CBU Faculty Association Collective Agreement. Candidates must have as minimum requirements: (1) a PhD or equivalent degree in Human Anatomy or related field by July 1, 2024. Candidates who are in the later stages of their PhD may be considered with the successful completion of the PhD being a condition of employment, (2) a demonstrated record of performance in university-level teaching, and (3) demonstrated research productivity. Candidates with a record of interdisciplinary University teaching, in-person, online, and/or in-community are preferred. A commitment to using evidence-based teaching methods in the classroom is also preferred. The successful candidate will deliver undergraduate courses in Human Anatomy, Human Biology, and Biomechanics, including the Human Anatomy course required for the Bachelor of Science (Nursing). The successful candidate will also have the opportunity to teach upper-level courses in their field of interest or to expand the Department’s health-based curriculum. For instance, they will develop new courses to enhance and innovate the existing Anatomy curriculum. These courses may include: Functional Anatomy, Gross Anatomy, Histology (Microscopic Anatomy), and/or Developmental Biology. The search committee seeks candidates who demonstrate flexibility and range in their secondary areas of teaching and are committed to innovative forms of pedagogy, including online delivery. The successful candidate will be expected to work closely with other faculty to deliver their courses and contribute to an interdisciplinary learning environment. The ability to participate in other teaching activities of the Department (e.g., Human Physiology for Nursing) will be considered an asset. We seek a candidate who demonstrates a strong commitment to student-centered undergraduate education. The successful candidate will also conduct discipline-based research in Anatomy, or a related field, and undertake relevant service activities within the University such as committee work, and for the broader academic and professional community. The capacity to develop an externally funded research program is also expected. Research activities in collaboration with undergraduate students are strongly encouraged. Applicants should have fluent written and oral communication skills in English. Applications must include all the following documents:
CBU teaches programs on campus, off campus in locations across and outside of Canada, and on-line. The university and its partners will therefore provide opportunities for faculty members to teach in different modes in different locations as part of their regular workload. While these opportunities may not be available equally for all faculty positions in all programs, a clear willingness to teach in different modes and locations will be noted as part of your application. |
