Visiting Professor of Neuroscience
Kenyon College, a highly selective, nationally ranked liberal arts college in central Ohio, invites applications for a one-year Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Neuroscience for the 2019-2020. Teaching responsibilities will depend on interest and expertise, but candidates are expected to teach the introductory course, a research methods course, as well as intermediate and advanced courses. The ideal candidate should have a PhD in Neuroscience or related field, demonstrated evidence of scholarly engagement, and a strong commitment to teaching excellence and engaging with diverse communities. The Neuroscience Department is interdisciplinary with several members appointed into other departments (Biology, Chemistry, Psychology, Philosophy and Anthropology). We are very supportive of interdisciplinary work and are interested in candidates whose work could attract students from outside the discipline, including those in the arts and humanities.
To apply, candidates should visit the online application site found at http://careers.kenyon.edu. A complete application will be composed of 1) a cover letter discussing the applicant's research and scholarship undertaken, its relevance to the field or discipline, and prior teaching experience; 2) a statement of the applicant's teaching philosophy; 3) a Curriculum Vitae; 4) an unofficial transcript; and 5) three (3) letters of recommendation. All application materials must be submitted electronically through Kenyon's employment website.
Review of applications will begin January 15, 2019 and will continue until the position is filled. Completed applications received by the January 15, 2019 deadline will be guaranteed full consideration.
Kenyon College is a nationally prominent, private liberal arts college where academic excellence goes hand in hand with a strong sense of community and close relationships among students and professors.
