at Providence College (also referred to as “the College” or “PC”), seeks to fill two tenure-track faculty positions to begin in the fall 2025 (i.e., August) semester. We are seeking applicants with teaching, research, and/or clinical practice experience in the health and/or human biological sciences. Depending on areas of expertise and experiences, the successful candidates will teach courses and labs such as Anatomy & Physiology, Biology of Health and Disease, Epidemiology, and Microbiology for the Health Professions, for undergraduate students in the health sciences, nursing, and other majors across campus who are seeking health-related careers. Successful candidates will also participate in the department’s team-taught senior seminar and capstone in health sciences and will have the opportunity to develop and teach other courses in their area of interest and specialization. Successful candidates will maintain an active scholarly agenda and contribute professional service according to the college’s expectations of pre-tenured faculty.
This is an exciting and historic opportunity to join PC’s newly established School of Nursing and Health Sciences and shape an innovative, interdisciplinary curriculum for the next generation of students entering nursing and other health professions. Construction is underway on the 153,000 sq. ft state-of-the-art Ben Mondor Center for Nursing and Health Sciences that will house the School of Nursing and Health Sciences existing and future undergraduate and graduate programs. This one-of-a-kind facility opening in early 2025 features the latest classroom design and technologies and showcases expansive clinical simulation and research facilities, including a human performance laboratory and environmental chamber. A student career education and advising center, along with conference and meeting space, will be included as part of the inspiring resources intended for the next generation of healthcare providers, faculty, and staff. This is a unique opportunity for the successful candidate to collaborate with other PC faculty to establish a new state-of-the-art teaching-learning classroom and laboratory that integrates biological and natural sciences into the health professions.
These two tenure-track faculty positions will report to the Chair of the Department of Health Sciences. Primary teaching responsibilities will be at the undergraduate level and will include the development, implementation and assessment of curriculum, student advising, service to the college, and scholarly pursuits.
As the student body at Providence College grows increasingly diverse, we have a strong preference for candidates who demonstrate a deep commitment to and proven ability in supporting the success of students from historically marginalized economic, social, and cultural groups.
Candidates with an earned doctorate in health sciences, human biology, biomedical sciences, or a closely related field are strongly encouraged to apply.
