    Position description

    The School of Biological Sciences (), Department of Cell and Developmental Biology, and Department of Molecular Biology, invite applications for a faculty position in Biology Education for a security of employment-track (tenure equivalent) position at the Assistant Teaching Professor (also referred to as Lecturer with Potential for Security of Employment or LPSOE) level. Candidates must be committed to equity and inclusion in undergraduate and graduate education. We seek candidates to advance science education at UC San Diego and beyond through research (also referred to as scholarly and creative activities), including but not limited to learning sciences, discipline-based education research, scholarship of teaching and learning, curriculum and assessment, and educational outreach. While we are particularly interested in candidates who will pursue scholarly and creative activities using novel theoretical and/or methodological frameworks to examine learning in formal and/or informal settings in relation to social justice, curriculum decolonization, critical theories, and/or institutional change, candidates with other areas of expertise in scholarly and creative activities will also receive full consideration. The incumbent should possess disciplinary expertise in one or more areas of biological or life sciences and will be expected to teach biology courses. We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in the following disciplines, but candidates specializing in other biological areas will be considered: molecular biology; cell and developmental biology; microbiology; genetics; bioinformatics and data science; physiology; biochemistry. Depending on expertise, the incumbent will join educational leadership team(s) for one or more of our core laboratory and lecture courses in these disciplinary areas, contributing to ongoing course development and instruction that serve students from many different communities and intersections of identities. Experience in mentoring and/or service within an institution, professional organization, and/or community will also be considered as strengths in potential candidates.

    Teaching Professors are full members of the Academic Senate. The responsibilities of Teaching Professors emphasize teaching courses and contributing to the education mission of the department. Teaching Professors in the School of Biological Sciences typically teach five course sections over three quarters per academic year. Teaching Professors are evaluated on these criteria, in order of importance: (1) teaching excellence, (2) professional and/or scholarly achievement and activity, and (3) University and public service.

    The School of Biological Sciences at UC San Diego is a vibrant center of scientific discovery, innovation, and collaboration. Our large research base spans many areas of biology including biology education. We have one of the most celebrated graduate programs in the country with an M.S. program track in Biology Education Research, as well as a Ph.D. program in Mathematics and Science Education offered on campus.
