The Department of Biology at North Central College invites applications from broadly trained plant biologists for the 2016-17 academic year (September 1 – June 15). Completion of the Ph.D. by the starting date is preferred, though ABD applicants will be considered. The successful candidate will teach introductory biology for majors and non-majors, a sophomore-level ecology course, and other courses that match his or her expertise. The position will offer opportunities to contribute to a growing environmental studies program. Applicants should exhibit potential for excellence in undergraduate teaching; teaching experience is highly desirable. A tenure-track search in this area of expertise is anticipated for Fall 2016.
