Definition of Classification:

The Biology Department at the University of Redlands invites applications for a tenure-track, Assistant Professor position in Molecular/Cellular Biology. The successful candidate will teach non-majors and majors in both lectures and laboratories for the equivalent of 24 units. The successful candidate is expected to build a productive research program involving undergraduates in research through close mentorship and be dedicated to personally advising students. We seek expertise in any area of molecular/cellular biology. Collaborations are possible with nearby institutions such as LLUMC. Additionally, students from University of Redlands receive preferred admissions to the following graduate programs: Keck Graduate Institute (Masters in Business and Science, and all other programs in the Riggs School of Applied Sciences); Western University (PharmD and DPM); Loma Linda University (Occupational Therapy, and Physical Therapy).

The University of Redlands is an independent, regional, comprehensive university with strong roots in liberal arts education. We are a Hispanic Serving Institution, with 40% of our student body composed of first-generation students and believe that bringing together faculty, students, and staff from diverse cultural and/or socio-economic backgrounds creates a richer learning environment. The Biology Department supports students majoring in the Biology BS & BA degrees, minoring in Biology, pursuing degrees in Kinesiology, Human Animal Studies, Health Medicine and Society, as well as the general education program of the College of Arts and Sciences. Furthermore, the University of Redlands is committed to providing students with transformative experiential learning opportunities through its Core Four initiative: undergraduate research, community service learning, internships, and study away. We welcome candidates who are enthusiastic about supporting student participation in high-impact practices and integrating experiential learning into their teaching, mentoring, and advising. We seek candidates who have experience and a demonstrated interest in working with students of under-represented groups in achieving academic success.

Any combination equivalent to, but not limited to, the following:

Experience/Training/Education:

• A Ph.D. (by the time of hire) in Biology or a closely related field and a strong commitment to quality undergraduate education are required. If the Ph.D. is not complete at the time of appointment, the appointed candidate may begin at the rank of instructor and convert to assistant professor upon completion of the degree within a reasonable and agreed upon period of time. Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States.
