Davidson College Biology Department

Davidson College invites applications for three two-year visiting assistant professors to teach Genetics, Biochemistry, or Microbiology, beginning 01 July 2020. The area of specialization should be in one of those three fields or a related field. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. in cellular/molecular biology (or related field) by June 2020, ability and interest in teaching introductory and one of these three upper-level biology laboratory courses. Each position seeks an individual with demonstrated potential for excellence in teaching and mentoring undergraduates, which includes fostering inclusive learning environments where all students can thrive. The annual teaching load is five courses over two semesters, typically two courses with lab and one course without lab per year, which will be met through a combination of introductory biology with lab (BIO113), an upper-level seminar or lecture course in the candidate’s area of expertise, and then either genetics with lab (BIO201), microbiology with lab (BIO202), or biochemistry with lab (BIO303). Candidates with demonstrated ability to teach biostatistics, bioinformatics, or nutrition are particularly sought.

Apply online only at https://employment.davidson.edu. The position is open until filled, with review of applications beginning on January 3, 2020. Application materials include a detailed cover letter with discrete sections describing: 1) teaching philosophy, 2) research interests, and 3) how teaching, research, and/or service will contribute to Davidson’s institutional commitment to diversity and inclusion, a CV, and names and contact information of references.

 Davidson College is a highly selective, residential, four-year liberal arts college, located 20 miles from Charlotte, NC that is consistently ranked among the top liberal arts colleges in the country. Davidson faculty members enjoy a low faculty-student ratio, emphasis on and appreciation of excellence in teaching, and outstanding research facilities. A collegial, respectful atmosphere honors academic achievement and integrity, upholds educational excellence, encourages student-faculty collaborative research, and prioritizes inclusive pedagogy.

At Davidson College, we believe the college grows stronger by recruiting and retaining a diverse faculty and staff committed to building an inclusive community. In order to achieve and sustain educational excellence, we seek to hire talented faculty and staff across the intersections of diverse races, ethnicities, religions, sexual orientations, gender identities, ages, socio-economic backgrounds, political perspectives, abilities, cultures, and national origins.

Powerpoint presentation for graduates applying to academic faculty positions

July 2019: An NIH-funded postdoctoral research associate position is available immediately in the Josephs laboratory. The Josephs lab incorporates ideas and approaches from molecular bioengineering and molecular biophysics (single-molecule + in vivo + computational) to address critical challenges related to DNA damage repair and genetic engineering of clinically-, industrially-, and agriculturally- important organisms.) We are seeking highly-motivated individuals to work on a number of potential projects, including investigating unusual mutational mechanisms that drive antibiotic resistance in M. tuberculosis-like organisms by using novel gene engineering approaches; development of nascent/exotic biotechnologies capable of gene editing and DNA manipulation; and engineering new molecular tools to deconstruct and modulate native DNA damage repair processes as they occur in living cells. [Nature Biotechnol. 2019, 37 (6), 657; Nucleic Acids Res. 2017, 45 (8), e63; Nucleic Acids Res. 2015, 43 (18), 8924-8941] Successful candidates will be highly motivated, have excellent communication skills, and have a recent Ph.D. in a field related to biophysics, biomedical engineering, or biochemistry/molecular biology. Prior research experience with cell culture, microbiology, and/or genetic engineering will be a plus. Programming experience highly desirable. Postdocs will be encouraged to lead independent, high-impact projects in preparation for long-term careers in academia or industry. Competitive salary/benefits offered. Interested applicants should email Dr. Eric Josephs at eric.josephs@uncg.edu with a short description of your past research experiences and a resume/CV.
