should demonstrate a commitment to excellent teaching, including strong academic support, inclusive course experiences, and effective mentoring for our diverse student population. Teaching expectations are 5 courses per year, with 3 courses in the Environmental Studies Department (e.g., Introduction to Environmental Studies, Senior Seminar in Environmental Studies, and new lecture and/or lab courses at the upper level) and 2 courses in the Biology Department (e.g., Introductory Biology lecture or lab, Aquatic Systems Biology). Additional opportunities exist for interdisciplinary teaching and scholarship within and outside the sciences, including in Kenyon's interdisciplinary Program in Computing and the college's Science and Nature Writing initiative. We expect a vigorous research program that involves undergraduate students, leads to publications, and has potential to attract extramural funding. Applicants should hold a Ph.D degree; post-doctoral experience is preferred. We encourage applications from all groups historically underrepresented in the sciences.

A complete application will be composed of 1) a cover letter (maximum 2 pages); 2) a Curriculum Vitae (no page limit); 3) a statement of the applicant's teaching philosophy that addresses the applicant’s experiences and plans for teaching a diverse student body (maximum 2 pages); 4) a statement of the applicant’s research and scholarship that includes plans for collaborative research with undergraduates (maximum 3 pages); and 5) contact information for three professional references. All application materials must be submitted electronically through Kenyon's employment website: http://careers.kenyon.edu. Review of applications will begin on August 31, 2026. Please direct questions to Natalie Wright, Search Committee Chair (wright1@kenyon.edu).

Kenyon College is a nationally prominent, private liberal arts college where academic excellence goes hand in hand with a strong sense of community and close relationships among students and professors. Situated along the beautiful Kokosing River, with a 700-acre nature preserve, Kenyon is an ideal place to study and teach ecology. Kenyon has an established record of preparing students for graduate study and research careers, ranking 8th nationally in the proportion of STEM graduates who go on to earn doctoral degrees. Our students regularly earn nationally competitive awards, including Fulbright Fellowships and National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship Program awards.
