All subdisciplines from within these major areas will be considered. Breadth in both experience and expertise will be reviewed favorably. Additionally, the successful candidate will be expected to teach one course per year in the general education curriculum. The primary focus at St. Andrews is on undergraduate education. Faculty are expected to teach 10-11 credit hours of coursework per semester.
Research is done primarily with honors students and through summer internship programs.
Lab facilities at St. Andrews are unique in that they were designed consciously to include a no-walls pedagogy in the main lab area. Students from all the sciences hold lab together, and the sciences are open to students with disabilities. Additional available facilities include a greenhouse, an animal facility, environmental chambers, walk-in incubator and cold room, electron microscopy area, microbiology and culture area, and molecular biology suite. Experience in electron microscopy would be an additional plus for either position. Our biology curriculum is undergoing a revitalization process which welcomes the input of newly hired faculty in both the teaching and development of general education courses as well as courses within the major.
