La Salle University’s Natural Sciences Department invites applicants for a full-time, academic year, tenure-track faculty position with expertise in physiology for our biology program. A background in a physiology-related field such as neurobiology, biomechanics, exercise physiology and kinesiology, and organ systems physiology is desirable. The successful candidate will teach both upper-level undergraduate biology and physiology electives for biology majors and anatomy and physiology courses for first-year nursing and health science majors. There is also potential to teach and contribute to La Salle’s new Biotech Innovation and Enterprise major. The successful candidate will also maintain an active research program centered in mentoring and training undergraduate La Salle science students.

The La Salle University Biology Program fosters a collaborative and interdisciplinary culture dedicated to science undergraduate biology education. We integrate educational best practices and course-based research experiences to train the next generation of medical practitioners, researchers, and science professionals. We seek a dedicated biology teacher-scholar with a strong commitment to undergraduate education, excellence in teaching biology at the university-level, and mentoring science students to achieve their full potential to join our team.
