PROFESSOR OF PRACTICE

The Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Tulane University, invites applications for one full-time, non-tenure-track Professor of Practice beginning fall 2016. Professors of Practice are appointed for renewable three-year terms, which include benefits but do not lead to tenure. Candidates must hold a Ph.D. in the biological sciences and have teaching experience at the college level, preferably with experience in active learning classrooms. We seek an individual with demonstrated expertise in one or more areas of ecology, evolution and organismal biology as well as a commitment to excellence in undergraduate education of majors and non-majors, the advancement of science literacy, and the scholarship of teaching and learning. For more details about the position, department, search and applications, see http://tulane.edu/sse/eebio/about/positions. Submit a curriculum vitae, statement of teaching philosophy which includes a vision for instruction in introductory biology, evidence of teaching experience and proficiency (with the option to include other relevant documents such as evaluations and/or sample course materials), statement of research experience, and the names and contact information for three references, at least one of whom can speak to teaching experience to http://apply.interfolio.com/32032. Review of applications will begin November 15 2015, and the search will remain open until the position is filled. Tulane is an EOE/M/F/Vet/Disabled employer.

Additional Information about the Position

The responsibilities of Professors of Practice are instruction and activities related to instruction, the normal teaching load being three courses per semester.

Professors of Practice largely serve the undergraduate teaching mission, including majors and non-majors, but they may also be involved in graduate education.

Teaching assignments for Professors of Practice will include lecture courses and laboratory courses. We are seeking someone who can contribute to our undergraduate introductory biology course offerings. We also value proficiency in and commitment to active learning/ learner-centered teaching styles.

Professors of Practice broaden the scope of undergraduate education in biology within the EEB Department. The research foci of the EEB Department include tropical biology and riverine and coastal ecology. Tenured and tenure-track faculty concentrate their teaching in these areas of inquiry in which they are engaged. Undergraduate educational experiences, however, should be broad. Thus, Professors of Practice provide an important complement to undergraduate teaching, which serves to broaden the undergraduate curriculum in the EEB Department.
