Job description
Full-time, 9-month faculty position teaching courses in general biology pending funding. Teaching assignments may include day, evening, online, hybrid, NCIH, and off-campus locations. This individual will also participate in the course and curriculum design, development of student learning outcomes and assessment, serve on college committees, advise and register students, maintain office hours, and fulfill all the duties and responsibilities of instructors as required—flexibility and willingness to change depending upon the needs of the students or the institution.
General biology courses taught on our campus: BIO 110 (Principles of Biology), BIO 111 (General Biology I), BIO 112 (General Biology II), BIO 140 (Environmental Biology), BIO 155 (Nutrition), BIO 275 (Microbiology). Priority is in BIO 110, BIO 111, and BIO 112. The instructor is also expected to manage the lab portion of their courses by teaching the lab sections, managing and setting up the lab space, and ordering lab supplies. Course design may have to be standardized to align with these courses to align with curriculums set by current faculty — with some creative and academic freedom.
