Assistant Professor of Biology – Plant Biology
St. Norbert College invites applications for a
tenure track position in Biology at the rank of Assistant Professor beginning in August 2022. We seek a broadly trained plant biologist with
expertise in plant genetics, plant physiology, and/or plant cell biology. Teaching responsibilities will include cell-level and organismal
introductory biology courses, botany, genetics, biochemistry, and other courses reflecting the strengths and training of the applicant. The
standard course load for Biologists at St. Norbert College is two classes with labs per semester, with additional opportunities to teach in
winter and summer terms. Faculty members in Biology are expected to have a productive research program that provides meaningful experiences
for St. Norbert College undergraduates. Other responsibilities will include advising students and being an active member of the College
community. The candidate will join the Biology department in a recently expanded and renovated science building that also houses Chemistry,
Computer Science, Environmental Science, Geology, Mathematics, Physics, Psychology, and the Green Bay campus of The Medical College of
Wisconsin. This is one of two faculty positions to meet the demands of our growing Biology program. A demonstration of teaching
effectiveness and a research presentation will be part of the interview process.

diversity officer, highlighting the importance of EDIB work and the curriculum.
