Biomolecular Engineering: Associate Teaching Professor of Bioengineering (open until filled, initial review 1/12/21)

The Department of Biomolecular Engineering at the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) invites applications for an Associate Teaching Professor position. We seek outstanding applicants who have demonstrated excellence in the tasks for the job: designing and teaching wet-lab courses, supervising undergraduate research, designing and teaching computational courses from introductory programming up to graduate bioinformatics, overseeing a Masters program, managing and supervising the synthetic biology iGEM program, and contributing to efforts for department self-study and program accreditation. Additional consideration will be given to candidates interested in engaging in professional achievement and activities, advising graduate students in their research area, obtaining external funding to support student research, and performing university, public, and professional service.

The Department of Biomolecular Engineering is part of the Baskin School of Engineering at UC Santa Cruz. Our school has nationally and internationally known researchers in many areas. UC Santa Cruz is a member of the AAU, an association of the top research universities in the US. Our campus is the nearest University of California campus to Silicon Valley and has close research ties with the local computer industry. Nestled in a redwood forest above the city of Santa Cruz, our beautiful campus has a long history of embracing groundbreaking interdisciplinary work. Our proximity to Silicon Valley, and our satellite campus there, afford opportunities and avenues for collaboration with researchers working in the many research and development labs in Silicon Valley, as well as with the other San Francisco Bay Area universities.

The successful candidate must be able to work with students, faculty, and staff from a wide range of social and cultural backgrounds. We are interested in candidates who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of the academic community through their teaching.

We welcome candidates who understand the barriers facing traditionally underrepresented groups in higher education, and who have engaged in teaching, research, professional and/or public service contributions that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion. These can take a variety of forms such as, but not limited to, effective pedagogical strategies used for the educational advancement of students in underrepresented groups; demonstrated contributions to the advancement of access and equal opportunity in education; and participation in activities that support the recruitment, retention, and success of scholars and students.
