Physiology Professor and Department Chair | Michigan State University (Apply by Feb 15)
https://careers.msu.edu/en-us/job/513241/chairpersonmanagement
The Department of Physiology at Michigan State University (www.psl.msu.edu/)
invites applications or nominations for the position of Professor and Department
Chair. Exciting opportunities exist for bold leadership to take advantage of a major
expansion of translational research, education, and initiatives to promote
collaboration between MSU campuses in East Lansing, Grand Rapids, and Henry
Ford Health in Detroit. A unique environment exists to define modern physiology
based on the presence of allopathic (M.D.), osteopathic (D.O.), and veterinary
(D.V.M.) medical colleges as well as an outstanding College of Natural Science.
The Department of Physiology has affiliations with each of these colleges,
providing faculty and support for integrative and translational research in
physiology and disease pathogenesis and teaching within undergraduate,
graduate, and medical programs. These features provide excellent opportunities
for expanded resources and cross-college program building. The ideal candidate
will possess foresight and leadership skills to coalesce these opportunities into a
new vision for the department and effectively implement this vision through
recruitment of new faculty who will enhance interdisciplinary research within the
department and across the university in alignment with the University (MSU 2030)
and College Strategic plans. The department has 44 full-time faculty members
across three campuses that enable a vibrant program of research and a broad
educational mission (at the undergraduate, graduate, and professional levels).
We seek a candidate with a strong vision and commitment to undergraduate,
graduate, and professional medical education and the ability to build
relationships, promote teamwork, and facilitate collaboration across multiple
colleges and physically distinct campuses. The successful candidate will have an
internationally recognized research program that has been consistently funded
extramurally. All areas of physiology-related research will be considered but
particular interest will be given to candidates whose research supports and
complements existing research strengths in cancer biology, immunology,
metabolic diseases, neuroscience, and discipline-based education research.
Applicants should hold an advanced degree (Ph.D. or equivalent) in physiology
or a related field and the academic credentials of the individual must be consistent
with a tenured professor appointment at Michigan State University. The
successful candidate will have a commitment to excellence, DEI, and supporting
a positive climate as well as previous administrative experience relevant to the
research, teaching, and service activities of an academic department. This
experience would include personnel and budget management, research program
building, and mentorship of faculty and students.
The Department of Physiology is housed in the Biomedical and Physical Sciences
(BPS) building with 50,000 sq. feet of modern laboratory and office space with an
additional 14,000 sq. feet of research space in the recently constructed
Interdisciplinary Sciences and Technology Building. Extensive departmental
collaborations exist across the MSU campuses. Departmental research is
enhanced through access to university-supported bioinformatics, genomics,
imaging, proteomics, and animal core facilities.
All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard
to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin,
citizenship, age, disability or protected veteran status.
The search committee is committed to respecting and maintaining confidentiality.
Application materials must include a curriculum vitae, cover letter (1 pg), separate
statements of research, teaching, and leadership/vision (2 pg each) that reflect
commitment to DEI and highlight specific strengths related to this position,
including previous administrative experience and accomplishments, research
interests and plans, teaching interests and experience with personnel
management, and the names of four references (not to be contacted without the
permission of the applicant). Applications should be submitted online at

Biology Visiting Faculty (Teaching Specialist or Lecturer) | University of Minnesota Rochester
The Center for Learning Innovation (CLI), an interdisciplinary department focused on health sciences at the University of Minnesota Rochester (UMR), invites applications for a full-time Biology Visiting Faculty (Teaching Specialist or Lecturer)
Multiple Positions: Vermont State University
I’m excited to share two new positions at Vermont State University in the Center for Teaching & Learning. You may not have heard of Vermont State University, and that’s because it’s an institution that doesn’t quite yet fully exist …
We are not building a university from scratch; rather three long-standing public institutions (Northern Vermont University, Vermont Technical College, and Castleton University) in the Vermont State Colleges System are merging to form Vermont State University on July 1, 2023. You can read more about our transformation, goals, and values on the About Us page of our new website. Our sister school in the system, the Community College of Vermont will remain independent of the new university.
As if merging 3 institutions weren’t enough, Vermont State has also been conceived of as a statewide, hybrid institution, serving both campus-based and remote students. This means expertise in new teaching modalities are currently being piloted for a fuller Fall 2023 launch along with investments in technology and expanded student services to include remote options.
I have the honor of building on two campuses’ Centers for Teaching & Learning to establish Vermont State University’s Center for Teaching & Learning Innovation (CTLI). And I’m currently recruiting to fill two roles (which could be campus-based or remote with occasional travel to Vermont):
Associate Director for Teaching Excellence and Innovation
Educational Developer for Inclusive and Anti-Oppressive Communities
These two new staff members will join myself (Director) and our Associate Director for Instructional Development and Assessment, supporting our 220 full-time faculty and 300 part-time faculty (many of whom teach in our online programs).
Please consider applying yourself or encouraging others you may know to apply. We will be reviewing applications on a rolling basis and hope to begin first-round interviews in mid-February.
I welcome questions directly (jen.garrett…@vermontstate.edu) and am genuinely excited to build this CTLI team.
