Teaching Assistant or Associate Professor Full-time NEW
The Department of Biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill seeks applicants for two (2) Teaching Faculty positions to be effective July 1, 2026. These positions will be fixed-term faculty at the rank of Teaching Assistant Professor or Teaching Associate Professor, depending on the selected candidates’ qualifications and experience. The successful candidates will join a cohesive and innovative group of colleagues in a department dedicated to excellence in teaching.
Both positions come with a teaching load of three courses per semester, primarily at the fundamental and intermediate undergraduate levels. We seek instructors with expertise from any area of biology, including but not limited to: Anatomy & Physiology, Molecular & Cellular Biology, or Ecology & Evolution. Among these topics, Microbiology is a particular priority, and applicants with expertise in this area are especially encouraged to apply.
These positions require a Ph.D., but doctoral candidates who expect to have completed their degree by the appointment start date will be considered. All candidates must have a record of independent college teaching experience. The positions will be for an initial fixed term period of 3 years with potential for renewal; promotion is possible in 6-year increments.
All interested candidates must submit: a cover letter that includes a summary of your teaching experience; a CV (including courses taught, course title, number of enrolled students, and students’ academic level); a 2-page statement of teaching philosophy; any available evidence of teaching effectiveness (e.g. peer observations, teaching evaluations, sample assessments); a list of at least 2 professional references, including contact information. Review of applications will begin November 3, 2025. Closing date: December 31. 2025.
