Description
We are inviting applications for a full-time, nine-month, tenure track promotable faculty position at the rank of Assistant Professor jointly appointed in the Nutrition and Dietetics and Health Sciences programs.
We seek a faculty member with expertise in Medical Nutrition Therapy who can teach within the accredited ACEND Didactic Program in Dietetics as well as undergraduate courses in health sciences.
We anticipate the person's primary service responsibilities would be within Nutrition and Dietetics, along with expectations for some collaboration and engagement in Health Sciences including supporting the development of natural synergies between the two programs.
We seek faculty who embrace NIU's mission of providing opportunity to a diverse student body by providing them with access to high quality education and hands-on involvement in research and community engagement as well as supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion across collaborations and interactions with faculty, staff, and others throughout the university and external community.

The recently revitalized downtown city of DeKalb offers shops, restaurants, and other amenities.Business investment is evident in DeKalb's Chicago West Business Park, whose residents include companies such as Facebook/Meta, Ferrara Candy, and Kraft/Heinz.
The College of Health and Human Sciences (CHHS) is home to five academic schools. The Nutrition and Dietetics Program is part of the School of Health Studies and offers a B.S. and an M.S. in Nutrition, Dietetics and Wellness.The Didactic Program in Dietetics (DPD) track within the bachelor's degree is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND).
At the graduate level, a Certificate of Graduate Study in Eating Disorders and Obesity and a Certificate of Graduate Study in Sports Nutrition are offered.
The Health Sciences Program is part of the School of Interdisciplinary Health Professions and offers a B.S. and an M.S. in Health Sciences as well as a Certificate of Graduate Study in Health Professions Education. A college-wide interdisciplinary and interprofessional PhD in Health Sciences engages faculty from across the college. For more information about the programs, visitPosition Summary
