Applicants for this teaching-focused position should have applied experience working in one or more of these domains: public health equity scholarship, intervention and evaluation work, public health practice, and public health programs and/or policies that impact community and population health. While applicants may not have worked in each of the aforementioned domains, they should have a practical understanding of how one engages in equity-oriented public health research, evaluation, practice, and policy making. Opportunities in teaching include leading core course instruction, as well as developing novel courses in health equity and public health intervention.

Public health intervention seeks to develop and evaluate policies, programs and other types of interventions that may affect community/population health and health equity. Achieving health equity addresses historical and contemporary injustices; overcomes economic, social, and other obstacles to health and health care; and eliminates preventable health disparities.

Applicants must have a demonstrated history (or the demonstrated potential) of developing and/or evaluating interventions focused on health equity and community/population health. Applicants would draw from these experiences to teach public health graduate and undergraduate courses with emphasis on community, policy, and/or programmatic-level intervention and evaluation.

Leadership and/or experience working with underserved communities, including people with disabilities, women, or people from minoritized groups, is a plus.

Our multidisciplinary faculty has a strong history of and ongoing public health programming in both domestic and global contexts, as well as multiple graduate education programs (MPH, MSPH, PhD programs) and two new undergraduate majors in Public Health BA and Public Health BS. Additionally, the UCLA campus offers several resources to support teaching excellence, including the newly created UCLA Teaching & Learning Center. The mission of the Center is to support UCLA’s community of educators in advancing instructional innovation and pedagogical research, engaging in research-based and equity-minded teaching practices, and celebrating inclusive excellence in teaching.

Candidates must have a doctoral degree in public health, social and behavioral sciences, or related disciplines (PhD, ScD, MD, DrPH or equivalent) and must demonstrate: (1) Excellence or the potential for excellence in teaching, with particular emphasis on program/policy development and evaluation methods; (2) Experience or clear potential in program/policy planning, implementation, and/or evaluation; (3) Ability to mentor students in applied practical experiences.

To be considered for this position, applicants must submit the following documents no later than December 15, 2023:

The University of California is committed to creating and maintaining a community dedicated to the advancement, application, and transmission of knowledge and creative endeavors through academic excellence, where all individuals who participate in University programs and activities can work and learn together in a safe and secure environment, free of violence, harassment, bullying and other demeaning behavior, discrimination, exploitation, or intimidation. With this commitment as well as a commitment to addressing all forms of academic misconduct, UCLA conducts targeted employment reference checks for finalists whom departments or other hiring units would like to extend formal offers of appointment into Academic Senate faculty positions. The targeted employment reference checks involve contacting the finalists’ current and prior places of employment to ask whether there have been substantiated findings of misconduct that would violate the University’s Faculty Code of Conduct. To implement this process, UCLA requires all applicants for Academic Senate faculty positions to complete, sign, and upload the form entitled “Authorization to Release Information” into Recruit as part of their application. If the applicant does not include the signed authorization to release information with the application materials, the application will be considered incomplete. As with any incomplete application, the application will not receive further consideration. Although all applicants for faculty recruitments must complete the entire application, only finalists (i.e., those to whom the department or other hiring unit would like to extend a formal offer) considered for Academic Senate faculty positions will be subject to targeted employment reference checks.

Description:

Assistant Professor (Continuing Track) – Department of Biological Sciences

The Department of Biological Sciences (www.bio.udel.edu) at the University of Delaware (UD) invites applications for an assistant professor-level (continuing track) position in Biology, starting August 16, 2024. This position offers a strong, supportive setting for a teaching-intensive role in the environment of an active research department, with strengths in the molecular and cellular mechanisms of human diseases, developmental disorders and microbiology. The ideal candidate will have experience in teaching introductory to advanced biology classes to biology majors and non-majors with an emphasis on the core concepts in molecular and cellular biology. Additional expertise in developmental biology, immunology and/or organismal physiology is desirable. Successful applicants will share our vision for being a department that is nationally recognized for high-impact research and teaching, and demonstrate experience or interest in education research and informed pedagogy.  We seek creative individuals who are eager to work in a collaborative educational environment, have demonstrated teaching excellence, have the drive to be leaders in their field, and are high-quality teachers who enthusiastically incorporate educational technology and evidence-based practices in their teaching, with an emphasis on incorporating diversity, equity, and inclusion in their instructional practice.

QUALIFICATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

Candidates must have a doctoral or equivalent degree in biology or a related field, prior to appointment, a demonstration of teaching interest and excellence, and a commitment to teaching and to serving a diverse population.

Demonstrable commitment to mentoring and promoting a diverse student population is highly desirable.

The Continuing Track (CT) is UD’s full-time, continuing faculty line, similar to the tenure track. CT positions can focus on research and/or teaching; however, this position specifically has a focus on excellence in teaching. CT faculty enjoy contracts that increase in length over time and, like tenure-track faculty, receive full and generous benefits, including family-friendly benefits, as part of their compensation package. CT faculty with terminal degrees hold professorial rank and have a path to promotion up to full professor; CT faculty without terminal degrees are at the instructor rank and have a parallel path to promotion. All CT faculty earn sabbaticals, have opportunities to pursue research/scholarship, participate in shared governance, and hold academic leadership positions.

Primary responsibilities of this teaching-intensive position include teaching introductory to advanced courses, development of curriculum, coordination of lectures with associated laboratory sections, and administrative tasks. Typical workload over Fall and Spring is teaching several course sections per semester. Faculty are also expected to contribute to departmental committees that support department functions and academic programs, and to participate in contributions to departmental teaching and research workshops, retreats, seminars, etc.  The position may additionally involve College and University service, discipline-based education research and advisement responsibilities.
