The successful candidate will teach undergraduate courses in Biology, develop and teach an upper-level course in Immunology, and establish an active research program that engages undergraduate students in meaningful laboratory experiences. The research program should provide opportunities for students to develop scientific skills and prepare for careers in research, medicine, and other health professions.

Successful candidates will exhibit a strong commitment to inclusive excellence through teaching, mentoring, and scholarly engagement that fosters equitable learning environments, reduces barriers to achievement, and promotes student engagement, persistence, and academic success. The Department values faculty who are dedicated to empowering all students to reach their full potential and who contribute to a culture of belonging, academic excellence, and lifelong learning.
