[ES_JOBS_NET] FW: Instructor/Lab Coordinator: Wright State University

[Rua, Megan Arlene]

Instructor/Laboratory Coordinator

Wright State University

Department of Biological Sciences



The Department of Biological Sciences at Wright State University (http://sciencemath.

wright.edu/biology) seeks a non-tenure track faculty member at the Instructor level. This

is a 12-month position, with duties divided as half coordinator of the Introductory Laboratory program

and half instructional faculty. Should the lab coordinator position dissolve, the position will become a

9 month academic-year instructor position.



The Laboratory Coordinator role encompasses oversight of laboratory operations for either 2 or 3

introductory biology courses each semester, with a total during Fall and Spring of approximately 45 lab

sections with 850-950 students each semester. Primary responsibilities of the coordinator include

supervision of undergraduate student workers who will set up the labs, coordination and guidance of

graduate teaching assistants (GTAs), ordering, maintenance, and inventory of equipment and supplies,

and periodic revision of laboratory exercises and laboratory manual development. The coordinator will

supervise student workers in occasional "special projects," such as offering outreach activities (Take our

Sons and Daughters to Work Day, Tech Fest, or others). Finally, the coordinator oversees safety issues in

the laboratory and serves as point of contact for general issues that arise in introductory laboratories

(e.g., weather cancellations, health and safety issues, etc).



The Instructional Faculty role will entail teaching that will include introductory biology courses, along

with opportunities for upper-level courses commensurate with interests and experience. The

department offers coursework that spans a wide range of disciplines within biology. Courses at the

introductory level include "Biology of Food", "Biology of Disease", and "Biodiversity" in the non-majors

sequence and "Cells and Genes" and "Organisms and Ecosystems" in the majors sequence.

Candidates should have demonstrated teaching experience appropriate for the position and experience

managing personnel. Experience in laboratory pedagogy a plus. An M.S. degree in Biology or related

disciplines is required; a Ph.D. is preferred.



Interested applicants should apply through Human Resources at Wright State University:

https://jobs.wright.edu/postings/10819.  Review of applications will begin on November 11, 2016.

Preference will be given to candidates who can start prior to the beginning of our Spring semester in January 2017.



Wright State University, an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer, is committed to an inclusive environment

and strongly encourages applications from minorities, females, veterans and individuals with disabilities.
