- # Assistant Professor, BiologyApply: Main Campus: Full time: Posted 2 Days Ago: R0007882**Job Summary**Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU) seeks an exceptional Assistant Professor of Biology whose scholarship and teaching advance our department’s strengths in biological sciences. The successful candidate will be a student-centered educator and an active scholar who integrates undergraduates and master’s students into a sustainable research program. Florida Gulf Coast University is a comprehensive university dedicated to quality education, research, and service. All faculty are expected to: be excellent teachers, responsive to changing professional needs; be committed to innovative delivery of instruction resulting in improved student learning; be committed to effective use of technology including distance learning; produce peer reviewed scholarship; and provide service to the College, University and Community.

The Department of Biological Sciences and FGCU provide unique opportunities for candidates interested in this position.

Departmental faculty possess wide range of scholarly interests to include molecular, genetic, and organismal pursuits as well as community-engaged research and SoTL (Scholarship of Teaching and Learning). Faculty also provide variety of learning opportunities that run the range of Bloom’s taxonomy (from recall to creation) and, therefore, employ different approaches to include integrated lab-lectures, active-learning, and Course-embedded Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs). Faculty, staff, and students also partner extensively with the community members, which supports the university’s sustainability and service-learning goals. In addition, half of the campus is set aside as conservation areas, which creates a living laboratory for both teaching and research opportunities for the field and lab. This is a special place for people who want to connect their teaching, research, and service.
