Department of Biological Sciences
The Jess and Mildred Fisher College of Science and Mathematics
Towson University

Positions:
The Fisher College of Science and Mathematics invites applications for two
tenure-track Assistant Professor appointments in the area of Integrative
Biology and two tenure-track Assistant Professor appointments in the area
of Aquatic Ecology/Evolutionary Biology in the Department of Biological
Sciences beginning August 2022. Salary is commensurate with experience.

Qualifications:
PhD in the biological sciences. Successful applicants are expected to
possess a strong commitment to excellence in teaching students from diverse
backgrounds, to establish a productive research program involving
undergraduate and master’s students, and to actively pursue extramural
funding for that research.  Individuals with postdoctoral experience are
strongly encouraged to apply.  Candidates should be able to demonstrate a
commitment to teaching, advising, and mentoring students from a diverse
student body including students of color and non-traditional students.

Responsibilities:
For all positions, the teaching load will usually consist of 1-2 classes
each semester. Faculty will teach at the undergraduate and graduate level.
Development of a course-based undergraduate research laboratory class
(CURE) is encouraged and supported via faculty professional development
opportunities.

Integrative Biology (FCSM - 3502)
The successful candidates’ research programs will involve the use of
molecular techniques to integrate across at least two traditional
biological sub-disciplines including those in cell/molecular biology,
physiology and ecology/evolution. Teaching responsibilities may include
introductory biology, an upper level course in cell or molecular biology,
or an upper-level elective or graduate course in the candidate’s area of
specialization.

Aquatic Ecology/Evolutionary Biology (FCSM - 3503)
The candidates are expected to develop a field and/or collections-based
research program that involves undergraduate and graduate students with an
emphasis on aquatic ecosystems.  Teaching responsibilities will include
General Zoology and one graduate course in the candidate’s area of
specialization, along with at least one of General Ecology, Marine Biology,
Limnology, Ornithology, Biostatistics or other upper-level undergraduate
course with a systems or organismal focus.

Department of Biological Sciences:
The Department of Biological Sciences (
https://www.towson.edu/fcsm/departments/biology/) supports research
spanning multiple disciplines with an emphasis on collaborative,
interdisciplinary work in cell and molecular biology; ecology, evolution
and conservation; physiology; and science education. Faculty also actively
contribute to three interdisciplinary degree programs: Animal Behavior;
Molecular Biology, Biochemistry and Bioinformatics; and Environmental
Science and Studies. The department is dedicated to providing high-quality
education to both undergraduate and Master’s students, with a focus on
endowing students with the knowledge, skills and techniques necessary for
success at Towson University and beyond.  In particular, we are committed
to providing all students an opportunity to engage in research, both
through conducting independent research in faculty labs as well as
participating in course-based undergraduate research (CURE) laboratory
classes.  With funding from an Inclusive Excellence grant from the Howard
Hughes Medical Institute, we are creating new CURE classes in diverse
disciplines in Biology and other departments.  This grant along with our
NIH-funded Bridges to the Baccalaureate and Bridges to the Doctorate grants
highlights our ongoing commitment to supporting our diverse student body in
reaching their educational and career goals in science.

In 2021 the Department, along with Chemistry and Physics, Astronomy and
Geoscience, moved into a new science building which created additional
opportunities for collaboration and data collection. The new Science
Complex houses the TU Biodiversity Center, a state-of-the-art collections
facility focused largely on the mid-Atlantic region. The largest holdings
of the Center are in amphibians and reptiles, insects and plants, with
additional collections of birds, fish, mammals and non-insect
invertebrates. The Urban Environmental Biogeochemistry Laboratory provides
extensive equipment and collaboration opportunities across the three
departments housed in the Science Complex. Field research opportunities
exist at our 220-acre field station 20 miles north of campus with access to
the Gunpowder River and at our Research and Education Center in Port
Deposit, Maryland on the Susquehanna River.

Towson University:
Towson University (www.towson.edu) was founded in 1866, is recognized by
U.S. News & World Report as one of the top public universities in the
Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, is Baltimore’s largest university,
and is the largest public, comprehensive institution in the University of
Maryland System.  TU enrolls over 19,000 undergraduates and more than 3,000
graduate students across six academic colleges (business, education, fine
arts, health professions, liberal arts, science & mathematics), has over
900 full-time faculty, and offers 65 bachelor’s, 42 master’s, and 4
doctoral programs.  Our centrally located campus sits on 330 rolling green
acres and is 10 miles north of Baltimore, 45 miles north of Washington
D.C., and 95 miles south of Philadelphia.

Application Process:
Review of applications begins immediately and continues until the position
is filled.

Interested applicants should submit a letter of application that addresses
the posting details and qualifications. Applications must also include: (1)
a curriculum vitae, (2) a teaching statement, (3) a research statement that
