Full-Time Visiting Faculty Position in Biology (Molecular and Cellular Biology)
The Department of Biology at the College of the Holy Cross invites applications for a visiting full-time faculty appointment in Molecular and Cellular Biology for the 2015-2016 academic year to begin in August. Candidates must demonstrate commitment to, and excellence in, undergraduate teaching as informed by current practice and scholarship in the field. Specific courses include Introduction to Cellular and Molecular Biology and 1-2 courses designed for non-science majors. The Introduction to Biology course is often the gateway course for majors.
