The Department of Biology at Wheaton College (IL) seeks candidates for a one-year appointment as a full-time Visiting Genetics Lecturer to begin August 2021. A PhD (or ABD) in genetics or closely-related field is required. Candidates with strengths in a systems biology/bioinformatics approach to genetics are especially encouraged to apply. The Visiting Genetics Lecturer will have the opportunity to compete for a probable full-time, tenure-track Genetics position to begin in Fall 2022. The successful candidate will be joining a dedicated team of teacher-scholars, with expanding teaching and scholarly opportunities in bioinformatics, neuroscience, and public health anticipated in the coming years.
The Lecturer will be expected to (1) teach upper-level genetics and associated laboratories, (2) coordinate the genetics laboratories (planning the laboratories and managing the laboratory teaching assistants), (3) teach a combination of introductory and/or non-majors biology lecture courses and laboratory sections, and (4) possibly teach one course in his/her specialty area. Lecture and labs may include both in-person and online instruction. Adherence to COVID-19 protocols is expected.
