Assistant Professor of Biology
Full-Time 1.0 Full-Time Equivalent (FTE), Tenure-Track
Canadian Mennonite University invites applications for a full-time, tenure-track faculty position in Biology.
The successful candidate will work with faculty to develop a growing undergraduate science program, which is an integral part of all our undergraduate degree paths. We seek individuals who love to teach in the classroom and laboratory, inviting students to be creative and rigorous in formulating and answering scientific questions. Our small department values the ability to teach a breadth of courses and encourages students to consider interdisciplinary connections within and outside the natural sciences.
The ideal candidate will be prepared to draw on a strong record of bench experience with molecular and cellular techniques, training students to apply those skills to diverse organismal systems. Research experience in botanical, microbiological (eukaryotic or prokaryotic), or comparative zoological model species is an asset. CMU is a Christian liberal arts university rooted in the Mennonite tradition. We expect faculty in their teaching, research, and service, to engage productively and critically with the intellectual and spiritual life of the campus community. Applicants should hold a PhD or be near completion of their doctorate, have a solid theoretical and methodological background, a strong record of scholarly research, and a demonstrated commitment to excellence in teaching.
