Job Description:
We invite applications for a tenure-track (10 month) faculty position in biology at the rank of assistant or associate professor. A Ph.D. in biology or a closely related field is required; ABD considered. We seek a broadly trained biologist with an expertise in cell and molecular biology. With the College's new initiatives in Digital Learning and Health Informatics, experience in bioinformatics or computational biology is a plus. We value quality in teaching, and we thus seek enthusiastic scholars who likewise value and enjoy working closely with an undergraduate population in a student-centered, liberal arts-based environment. The successful candidate will enjoy teaching biology courses to science majors at all levels, as well as courses for non-majors. He/she will also seek out opportunities to involve undergraduates in ongoing research projects.
Essential Responsibilities:
•Teach undergraduate biology courses to science majors at all levels, which may include the following: freshman and sophomore courses covering cell/molecular biology and development [BIO135, BIO 234]; a junior/senior level cell/molecular biology course [BIO 353]). Courses for non-majors may include, but not be limited to, a freshman general biology course [BIO 102] and/or an introductory-level survey course in chemistry [CHM 107].
•Teach undergraduate courses in the general education program when asked.
•Engage students in research projects and/or other scholarly endeavors.
•Participate in development, evaluation, and assessment of program curriculum.
•Contribute to the College and the Division through participation in College and Division functions.

Science at Keuka College
Keuka College, located on the western shore of beautiful Keuka Lake in the heart of New York's Finger Lakes Region, has a proud heritage as a liberal arts college. Biology is one of several program areas in the division of Natural Sciences and Mathematics. We offer degrees in biochemistry, biology, environmental science, and mathematics. Additionally, we work with the Education division to support the Adolescent Education programs in Biology, Mathematics, and Chemistry. Division faculty include three chemists, five biologists, and three mathematicians, as well as one professor of wellness. We also have a full-time laboratory coordinator.
Our facilities have seen significant recent upgrades. The Jephson Science Hall was renovated in 2000. A recent grant supported the purchase of several pieces of chemical instrumentation, including HPLC with diode array detection, GC-MS, and new Infrared as well as UV/Vis spectrophotometers. The biology equipment holdings include a hood for the aseptic transfer of cell cultures, a CO2 incubator for growing cell cultures, and an ultralow freezer for sample storage. We have a research quality microscope with phase contrast and DIC capability, an inverted microscope for viewing cultured cells, and a fluorescence microscope with blue and green filters. Equipment shared with other faculty includes a thermal cycler for running PCR experiments, equipment to run agarose gels (for DNA analysis) and SDS-PAGE (for protein analysis), centrifuges, incubators, and spectrophotometers for DNA/protein analysis.
Application Materials
•Letter of application (outlining interest in the position, qualifications, experience, and approach to teaching at a liberal arts college)
•Current Curriculum Vitae
•Outline of research interests suitable for undergraduate student participation
•Names and titles of three current professional references with telephone numbers and e-mail contact information. (Candidates who are determined to potentially be a good fit with the position will be asked to have these individuals send letters to us.)
•Transcripts of all academic work (unofficial copies acceptable during application reviews; official copies will be required at time of hire)
•Other supporting information you may choose to provide
Applications must be submitted electronically.
Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
Physical Requirements:
•Some evening and weekend hours required
In support of the Americans with Disabilities Act, this job description lists only those responsibilities and qualifications deemed essential to the position.
