About the position
The Department of Biological Sciences at Oakland University invites applicants for a full-time faculty position to be filled by August 15, 2027. The appointment, as a Special Instructor, is a teaching faculty position, which may lead to job security equivalent to tenure. Special Instructors are expected to teach three classes per semester in the Fall and Winter semesters and to participate in service activities during a 9-month academic year. The successful candidate will teach a variety of undergraduate courses, including introductory biology lecture and laboratory/field courses to students majoring in Biological Sciences and non-major general education courses, such as Biology and Society. Preference will be given to candidates with expertise in Plant Biology, who can also teach Botany, Plant Physiology, Plant Genetics and/or Evolutionary Biology.
The Department of Biological Sciences (https://www.oakland.edu/biology/) serves ~700 majors, including undergraduate and graduate students with diverse interests, ranging from cell and molecular biology, genetics/genomics, pre-professional programs (e.g. medical, dental, veterinarian medicine) to ecology, evolution, and environmental biology. Courses are also taken by students across programs, including pre-Nursing and Health Sciences. The Department of Biological Sciences is part of the university’s College of Arts and Sciences.
The candidate must have a Ph.D. in Biology or related fields and experience teaching lecture and laboratory/field courses. Candidates will be considered favorably if they have demonstrated experience in course development, teaching courses at multiple levels, designing courses in different modalities (e.g., online vs. in person), and/or evidence-based and inclusive teaching practices.
