The Biology Department of Franklin & Marshall College invites
applications for a tenure-track ASSISTANT PROFESSOR position
in BIOLOGY with responsibilities in the PUBLIC HEALTH Program
beginning July 1, 2018. Candidates should have the Ph.D. or
terminal degree, demonstrated strengths in teaching and
research, and broad interests in public health. The rank will
be Assistant Professor or Instructor depending on
qualifications. Candidates with a strong background in
epidemiology are particularly encouraged to apply. The
teaching load is 3/2, and responsibilities will include
epidemiology, introduction to public health, introductory
biostatistics and upper-level courses in the candidate’s area
of specialization, along with contributions in the College’s
general education program, Connections and Natural
Science in Perspective. The successful candidate will be
expected to engage undergraduates in research, and start-up
support is available. Franklin & Marshall is a small
(enrollment 2400), highly selective coeducational liberal arts
college with a tradition of excellence in science and student
research. The Public Health program at F&M has approximately
sixty majors; graduates often go on to top graduate programs,
internships, and positions in the field.
F&M and the Biology Department are committed to supporting an
inclusive college community and
will
holistically assess the qualifications of each applicant.
In pursuit of this goal, the search committee will
consider an individual’s record
working with
students and colleagues with diverse perspectives,
experiences, and backgrounds, as well as experience overcoming
or helping others overcome barriers to academic success.
Applicants should submit the
following items via https://apply.interfolio.com/47639:
a letter of application, curriculum vitae, copies
of graduate transcripts, teaching evaluations, a statement of
teaching philosophy that addresses experience with diverse
perspectives, and a research statement that includes plans for
actively engaging undergraduates in research. Applicants
should arrange for direct submission of letters to Interfolio
from three references. Priority will be given to complete
applications received by January 12, 2018. Contact e-mail:

The person selected for this tenure-track
position may also be considered for a supplemental appointment
as a Franklin & Marshall High Impact Emerging Scholar. These
are scholars who possess outstanding promise for inspiring and
supporting the educational development of underrepresented
minority students in a higher educational setting such as F&M.
High Impact Emerging Scholars (HIES) demonstrate similarly
high promise for positively impacting the campus’s
organizational and academic culture to make it more inclusive
of and responsive to underrepresented minority students.
Selected finalists who meet these additional qualifications,
in addition to those outlined by this ad, may be nominated by
the department as a F&M High Impact Emerging Scholar. If
selected as a HIES, the person will receive a two-year
appointment (additional to the tenure-track appointment) that
begins as soon as the person joins the campus on the
tenure-track. The HIES program supports the acceleration of
one's research trajectory with a significantly reduced
teaching load for two years along with supportive mentoring to
advance the scholar's research and professional development.
Candidates interested in being considered for nomination
should indicate their interest in their cover letter and
describe pertinent experience that they might have had in
helping underrepresented groups.
