Professor of Biology
University of Charleston

The University of Charleston's Department of Natural Science & Mathematics is looking for a qualified person to teach biology. Ph.D. required and prior teaching experience preferred. The candidate must be able to teach Anatomy and Physiology, Embryology, and the Capstone Research experience. The position starts the Fall Semester of 2010. Salary and rank are commensurate with training and experience.

The University of Charleston is a small private university located in Charleston, West Virginia, a community of approximately 250,000 located in the south central part of the state. Charleston, the state capital, is centrally located and is within a 6-hour drive of several major cities. Charleston's Yeager Airport is served by 6 airlines that have direct flights to many major cities. In addition to an abundance of cultural and outdoor opportunities, Charleston's general cost of living index (per ACCRA) is significantly below the national average.

The University of Charleston is one of the nation's leaders in outcomes-based education. The addition of the School of Pharmacy starting in the fall of 2006 has created a meteoric rise in the student population for the sciences. Thus the Department of Natural Science and Mathematics is expanding to meet the demand.

The review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled. Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, a statement of teaching philosophy, and three letters of recommendation. Material should be sent to Dr. Barbara Wright by email barbarawright@ucwv.edu or by mail at:
