Assistant Teaching Professor in the Natural Sciences
Assistant Teaching Professor in the Natural Sciences
Full Job Description
The Mathematics, Analytics, Science, and Technology division at Babson College invites applications for an Assistant Teaching Professor of Science (full time non-tenure-track) with a biotechnology and sports science focus for a start date of August 15, 2024. The successful applicant will show a passion for high quality undergraduate teaching of non-majors (business students) and a desire to contribute to Babson's mission through service on campus. The candidate should also have an active professional career, which may include traditional discipline-specific research, the scholarship of learning and teaching, or work in interdisciplinary applications.
Teaching responsibilities will vary and may include the foundation science courses (multi-science discipline courses with hands-on labs) and advanced elective courses for our Tech Entrepreneurship concentration. We have limited science lab research space, but value collaboration across disciplines and between institutions.
We encourage applications from faculty at all career stages as appointment at the Associate or Full Professor level is possible for experienced faculty. Babson faculty value the diverse backgrounds and perspectives our colleagues bring to our community, and we strongly encourage members of groups that have been traditionally underrepresented in STEM fields to apply for this position.
Materials should be submitted as soon as possible and review of materials will begin on April 1 and continue until the position is filled.
Candidate Success Factors:
The successful candidate will join our division which includes nineteen full-time faculty and several part-time instructors. We seek a colleague who:
* Is passionate about teaching and innovative curriculum development.
* Brings depth in scholarly or professional expertise that will add to the intellectual community of the College.
* Is a team player, willing to lead and collaborate with faculty from multiple disciplines to co-design and co-teach courses in an integrated, cross-disciplinary context.
* Is eager to enhance the college's commitment to diversity and inclusion.
* Has earned a Ph.D. (or an equivalent terminal degree) in a natural science discipline with a strong connection to biotechnology.

Please include: (1) a cover letter; (2) a current curriculum vitae; (3) a brief (1-2 page) statement of teaching philosophy, including a short statement on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the classroom, and (4) a brief (1-2 page) statement discussing current and future plans for an active professional career and required support.
