Definition of Classification:
The Biology Department at the University of Redlands invites applications for a tenure-track, Assistant Professor position in Molecular/Cellular Biology. The successful candidate will teach non-majors and majors in both lectures and laboratories for the equivalent of 24 units. The successful candidate is expected to build a productive research program involving undergraduates in research through close mentorship and be dedicated to personally advising students. We seek expertise in any area of molecular/cellular biology. Collaborations are possible with nearby institutions such as LLUMC. Additionally, students from University of Redlands receive preferred admissions to the following graduate programs: Keck Graduate Institute (Masters in Business and Science, and all other programs in the Riggs School of Applied Sciences); Western University (PharmD and DPM); Loma Linda University (Occupational Therapy, and Physical Therapy).
The University of Redlands is an independent, regional, comprehensive university with strong roots in liberal arts education. We are a Hispanic Serving Institution, with 40% of our student body composed of first-generation students and believe that bringing together faculty, students, and staff from diverse cultural and/or socio-economic backgrounds creates a richer learning environment.
