Gettysburg College invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Health Sciences Department beginning August 2024, specializing in human anatomy and/or physiology. Teaching responsibilities will include introductory courses in human anatomy and physiology (lecture and laboratory components) and upper-level courses in anatomy or physiology that support student success in applying for a variety of health professions programs or research careers. Responsibilities include teaching five courses per year, which could be either classroom or laboratory courses, conducting a dynamic research program, advising majors, and actively participating in the governance of the department and college. The successful candidate may also have opportunities to teach in the broader college curriculum through interdisciplinary courses and our First-Year Seminar program.

We seek a colleague who has a genuine interest in inclusive excellence in teaching, research, and advising/mentoring undergraduate students. Candidates should have a Ph.D. (or be ABD) in human anatomy, human physiology, or a related discipline. Previous teaching experience at the undergraduate level is preferred. We strongly encourage applications from candidates who can demonstrate through their teaching, scholarship, and/or governance that they can contribute to the diversity and inclusive excellence of our community. Candidates are expected to become high-quality teachers and productive researchers, and Gettysburg College provides support through start-up funds, departmental and external faculty mentorship, department-specific tenure and promotion guidelines, internal professional development funding, and family-friendly policies.
The Gettysburg College Health Sciences Department considers the diversity of its students, staff, and faculty to be of critical importance to its educational mission. As a department we are committed to creating and sustaining an inclusive environment that welcomes, supports, and respects all of its members, from all backgrounds and experiences. Each member is critical to developing a community that values the diversity of experiences including but not limited to race, religion, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, disability, and place of origin. The faculty and staff work to connect with and support each member of our community and expect all others to do the same in developing an environment that is not only free from harassment, exploitation, intimidation, and discrimination, but that explicitly promotes the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
