Bennington College invites applications for a one-year visiting faculty position in Biology, beginning in the fall 2014. Area of expertise for this sabbatical replacement position is flexible, but we would particularly welcome applications from candidates whose interests bridge the larger areas of ecology/evolution and genetics/microbiology. Examples of appealing specialties include, but are not limited to: population genetics, molecular evolution, soil microbiology, microbial ecology, plant virology and/or immunology, and microbiome ecology/evolution.
Teaching responsibilities include two courses per term (four different courses, total), at least two of which should be introductory level. This is an ideal opportunity for scientists interested in developing curriculum and in creative approaches to teaching in small, interactive classes. Interested individuals need not have a completed PhD, but should have college-level teaching experience to offer and build upon. To apply, please upload a *curriculum vitae,* the names and contact information for three references, descriptions of interests and possible courses, and a cover letter indicating interest to: https://bennington.recruiterbox.com/jobs/30480. A full-year replacement is desired, but exceptional candidates available for only one term will be considered. Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Bennington College is a small, liberal-arts college with a tradition of innovative approaches to teaching and curriculum.
