Indiana University Northwest Department of Biology invites applications for a tenure-track assistant professor.
Teaching focus: Microbiology for majors, nursing and pre-allied health majors, medical microbiology, and upper level in area of expertise (e.g. immunology, virology, environmental microbiology). This includes lectures, labs, and discussions. Specific teaching experience in systems that complement department strengths but fill department needs is ideal.
Research focus: Any realm of research in microbiology will be considered. Study systems that match department facilities and the tractability of certain microbiological systems should be considered. The ideal candidate would be particularly interested in pursuing a vigorous research program that would be attractive to undergraduates interested in careers in biological fieldwork, laboratory research, and/or health professions.
Service focus: Service to the campus and candidate's profession is expected, but one emphasis will be excellence in advising undergraduate students toward their degree.
