JOB DESCRIPTION AND POSITION REQUIREMENTS:
The Department of Biobehavioral Health (BBH) at Penn State invites applications for a full-time, in-residence, academic year (36 week), non-tenure track Assistant Teaching Professor position to support our undergraduate curriculum. The Department of BBH is a uniquely multi-faceted program that examines the space where biological, psychological, environmental, cultural, and global factors converge to affect health and wellness across the entire human lifespan. We are particularly interested in individuals whose pedagogy fits within the department's interdisciplinary focus on integrating biological, environmental, psychosocial, and contextual processes. The individual who fills this role will instruct six sections of BBH course offerings per year and be involved with service to the department. There may be opportunities to be involved with other aspects of our curriculum and department initiatives. The desired candidate will hold a Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Biobehavioral Health or a related field including (but not limited to) psychology, neuroscience, other biological sciences, or public health. Instructional experience in areas related to BBH is strongly preferred. The individual must be able to work effectively with diverse populations and audiences. Penn State offers a resource-rich and inspiring higher learning environment with significant opportunities to collaborate with experts in pedagogy, such as the Schreyer's Institute for Teaching Excellence https://www.schreyerinstitute.psu.edu/.
Salary is competitive and commensurate with experience. An attractive benefits package is available. To be considered for this position, applications must be submitted electronically and should include: 1) a cover letter describing interests, qualifications, teaching philosophy, and commitment to fostering diversity, equity, and inclusion, 2) curriculum vitae, and 3) the names and contact information of three professional references. Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until a suitable candidate is identified. This is a limited-term appointment funded for one year from the date of hire with an excellent possibility of re-funding. Questions concerning this opportunity may be sent to Marc Dingman at mad193@psu.edu.
