The Department of Biology in the College of Natural and Health
Sciences at The University of Tampa invites applications for a
tenure track position in Genetics at the rank of Assistant
Professor starting in August 2025.

The successful candidate will support the mentoring and teaching of
students in research and in existing lecture and laboratory courses
in genetics and our introductory general biology series. Area of
research expertise is open within the confines of this
discipline.

The successful candidate will demonstrate potential for excellence
in teaching, a critical component of our teaching-centered,
primarily undergraduate institution. Applicants should be eager to
create engaging, inclusive learning environments for our diverse
student body that emphasize shared learning objectives across a
range of subject areas within the biological sciences. Students
majoring in the department choose from among a BS or BA in Biology
or a major in Marine Science-Biology, along with minors populated
by students from across the University.

The required teaching load is 12 contact hours per semester with
full-credit for time spent in laboratory sections. Tenure-track
professors in the Department typically offer courses at the
undergraduate upper-level as well as introductory or general
education courses each year.

Our most successful colleagues establish an active research program
that leads to peer-reviewed publications in respected journals
appropriate to their discipline. As a primarily undergraduate
teaching institution, we strive to maintain realistic research
expectations and value quality over quantity in scholarly output.
Start-up funds and research spaces are available but are limited
compared to research-intensive institutions. As one of the largest
departments in the University, ample opportunities exist for
collaboration within the department, and our faculty are routinely
successful at securing internal grant funds to support their
research. Research plans should be appropriate for the
institutional resources and in the context of other employment
expectations. Successful colleagues engage undergraduate students
in rich scholarly activities as a means of providing greater depth
and opportunity to the educational experience at the university.
Assistance is available to identify external grant sources, grant
writing, and additional sources of funding for equipment that
cannot be purchased with start-up funds.

Qualifications

PhD required, ABD candidates considered. Prior teaching and
research experience with undergraduates is desirable/expected in
candidates whose experiences have allowed for these
opportunities.

Review of applications will begin immediately with a final deadline
of October 18, 2024, and will continue until the position is
filled. Candidates must submit their application, cover letter, and
CV by this initial deadline to receive full consideration. Salary
is competitive and commensurate with experience.
