Full-Time Temporary Assistant Professor Positions in Genetics and Evolutionary Developmental Biology at Bridgewater State University Bridgewater State University in United States

Bridgewater State University is advertising two full-time temporary Assistant Professor positions in the Department of Biological Sciences: one in Genetics and one in Evolutionary Developmental Biology (or a related subfield). These are teaching-and-research oriented faculty roles with a strong emphasis on undergraduate teaching, academic advising, and mentoring undergraduate research.

The department highlights its commitment to a diverse student body, inclusive teaching, and equity-focused work. The successful candidate will teach biology majors and non-majors, including courses such as Genetics or General Biology II, and may also teach upper-level electives that can cross-list with the graduate program. There is also an opportunity to contribute to the Master of Science program.

Research interests should align with the department’s strengths and ideally involve a model organism at BSL-II or lower. The post specifically values candidates who can develop an independent research program and involve undergraduate students in that work.

Eligibility highlights: applicants must have an earned Ph.D. in Biological Sciences or a related field by the time of application submission, plus college-level teaching experience with undergraduates. Preferred qualifications include postdoctoral experience and prior undergraduate research mentoring.

Application materials include a CV, cover letter, teaching statement, and optional research statement, along with at least three professional references. Applicants are also asked to respond to questions about supporting historically marginalized students in biology, faculty roles in student success, and teaching effectiveness.

Deadline: both postings close on 2026-06-05.
