Professor of Practice in Biology, Wheaton College
The Biology Department at Wheaton College is seeking applicants for a Professor of
Practice position, optimally starting in Fall 2023, though the start date is flexible. The
successful candidate is expected to teach three lectures or labs per semester, possibly
including Introductory Biology, Marine Biology, Ecology, and Environmental Science
as well as higher level courses in their area of expertise. Applicants with areas of
expertise in marine ecology, broadly defined, are strongly encouraged to apply. The
Biology Department is expanding our teaching faculty to focus efforts on diversity,
equity and belonging, and to modernize the pedagogical approaches in our
foundational course offerings.
Wheaton’s Biology Department is committed to creating an innovative, inclusive
learning environment and to providing students with hands-on research opportunities
beginning from their first semester on campus; our work has been supported by an
HHMI grant for inclusive excellence in STEM. As a department focused on equity and
supporting diversity within academia, we encourage applications from individuals
who have been historically excluded from Biology and from those who are strongly
committed to diversifying the field through mentoring students. The position may be
renewed annually.
