The Department of Health Sciences, in the School of Nursing and Health Sciences (SNHS) at Providence College (also referred to as "the College" or "PC"), seeks to fill an assistant clinical professor position to begin in the fall 2026 (i.e., August) semester. We are seeking applicants with teaching, research, and/or clinical practice experience in the health and/or human biological sciences. The successful candidate will have primary teaching responsibilities in Anatomy and Physiology, serving undergraduate students in the health sciences, nursing, and related majors preparing for health-related careers. Successful candidates will also have the opportunity to participate in the department's team-taught senior seminar in health sciences and develop and teach other courses in their area of interest and specialization. Successful candidates will contribute department, college, and professional service according to the college's expectations of renewable contingent faculty.

The department includes two purpose-built classrooms and laboratories dedicated to teaching anatomy and physiology for the health professions. These spaces feature the latest technology, such as Anatomage Tables—the most advanced real-human-based 3D anatomy and medical education system. The building also contains a student career education and advising center, along with conference and meeting space, as part of the inspiring resources designed to support the next generation of healthcare providers, faculty, and staff.
