(posted 8/4/23)

Hollins University in Roanoke, Virginia invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor of Biology with expertise in molecular and/or cell biology.

Please visit this web page (https://www.hollins.edu/about-hollins/jobs/) to learn more about Hollins; its commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice; faculty development; the university’s students; and the Roanoke Valley.

Position and Qualifications

Biology is consistently one of the three most popular undergraduate majors at Hollins, and the department offers both B.A. and B.S. degrees. Hollins has a recently renovated science building where majors are provided with a firm grounding in the breadth of biology and the opportunity to focus on upper-level courses in the subfield of their choice. Student majors are bolstered by support from the dynamic network of Hollins alumnae/i, as well as connections within the Roanoke community.

Biology faculty are actively engaged and supported in their research endeavors and are committed to providing opportunities and mentorship for undergraduate research. The annual Science Seminar (https://digitalcommons.hollins.edu/science_seminar/), currently in its 66^th year, highlights student research in STEM. The department has developed unique, travel-based, short-term courses to Ecuador and the Caribbean, as well as specialty courses for the regular semester designed to engage Hollins students who pursue other majors within the liberal arts. Members of the biology faculty regularly collaborate in teaching and research with faculty in the interdisciplinary environmental studies and public health programs.

We are committed to helping increase and support diversity in the sciences. Hollins is one of the nation’s most dynamic and diverse women’s colleges with an undergraduate student population that includes 37% US-American students of color, 37% Pell-eligible students, 45% first-generation college students, and 8% international students. Hollins biology faculty work to actively support underrepresented students through their teaching approaches, mentorship, and research opportunities and have actively applied for and received federal grants to support underrepresented students in STEM.

We invite candidates with a Ph.D. (or who will have one by June 30, 2024) in a biological field with expertise in molecular and/or cell biology to apply for this position. Candidates should be a teacher-scholar with experience teaching at the molecular and/or cellular level, show evidence of scholarly accomplishment in the form of publications and presentations, have a demonstrated commitment to teaching excellence and innovation, and an interest in working at a small, liberal arts institution. Candidates who can support and/or expand the diversity and inclusion efforts at Hollins (e.g., through service, areas of research, and/or teaching) are especially encouraged to apply.

The position carries the equivalent of six courses per academic year, including laboratory sections which count as half a course each, and we value candidates who have a demonstrated interest in and commitment to excellence in teaching. The successful candidate will teach the sophomore-level core lecture and laboratory course in molecular and cell biology each year and offer an upper-level lecture and laboratory course in genetics every other year. The successful candidate will also have the chance to develop and offer at least one upper-level molecular or cellular-based course in their area of expertise, contribute to the new general education curriculum, and may teach on rotation in the biology department’s sophomore seminar and senior capstone courses. The ability to develop courses that could be cross-listed with other departments is welcomed.

Additional duties include service to the department and university, such as student mentorship and advising; supervision of undergraduate internships, research, and theses; and active participation in campus-wide faculty governance. Candidates will also be expected to establish a research program that is compatible with the resources of a small, undergraduate, liberal arts institution and incorporates our diverse undergraduate population.
