My name is JD Swanson, I am the current Chairperson of Biology and Biomedical Sciences at Salve Regina University. We currently have several opportunities for both adjunct professors as well as two full time (non tenure track) positions in our department
starting this fall.
Our two full-time positions are
- a Cell Biologist. This is a one year position and they would teach Cell Biology and one other class, they would have the option to do research but it is not required.
- A Geneticist/Developmental Biologist. This is a one (most likely two) year position while one of our faculty will be on rotation as a program director at NSF. They would teach Genetics and developmental biology plus some other classes within their specialty.
They would also be responsible for working with our rotating faculty member to ensure the continuation of their research projects (centered around the effect of external factors on cell growth and division in a variety of species.
For both of these positions, we require the candidate to have their Ph.D. defended or in-hand and would be able to start at the beginning of the 2017/2018 academic year.
These are great positions as they would allow a seasoned post-doc some mentored teaching and undergraduate research experience, or will allow a newly minted Ph.D. to be exposed to the opportunities associated with working at a primarily undergraduate institution.
