Applications are invited for a one-year, renewable, full-time lecturer position in the Department of Biological Sciences at Towson University starting fall 2013. Successful applicant must possess a strong commitment to excellence in teaching. Teaching responsibilities will include two introductory level courses that focus on ecology, evolution, phylogenetics and biodiversity (BIOL 202 and 208). BIOL 208 aims to introduce students to the processes that generate diversity and methods of studying that diversity, including phylogeny and the mechanisms by which living organisms solve similar functional problems. This course is not a simple survey of kingdoms of living organisms, although it includes a very general sketch of the conventional survey of living organisms. M.S. in appropriate field is required. Preference will be given to candidates with a Ph.D. and the ability to teach graduate level courses in molecular evolution and systematic biology. The successful applicant will teach 4 course units per semester (12 contact hours). Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Submit resume, a one-page statement on teaching philosophy and contact information for two references. Electronic submission of application materials in PDF or Word format is encouraged.
