This person is expected to develop and teach both on-campus and Ecampus (online) courses in biology and/or zoology. The current departmental needs include ecology, science writing, genetics, organismal physiology and other biology and/or zoology courses. This position will reside in the Department of Integrative Biology (100%).

Instructional faculty in the College of Science and the Department of Integrative Biology are expected to develop effectiveness in teaching and maintain an appropriate balance of institutional and professional service. This annually renewable, long-term position supports the department's missions in biological research and scholarship, general education in biology and zoology for undergraduate and graduate degrees in biology, and service to the public and the local, national, and international professional communities.

The Integrative Biology Department has teaching responsibilities in nearly every undergraduate major at OSU, and an important role to play in enhancing student success. Thus, we are particularly interested in qualified candidates with a demonstrated commitment to excellence in teaching, and experience collaborating with, advocating for, and mentoring people of diverse backgrounds. The department is committed to fostering an open and inclusive environment in which to learn and work, enhancing the diversity and equity of the university community, and improving access to higher education for underrepresented students.
