Visiting Assistant Professor

The Biological, Chemical, and Environmental Sciences (BCES) Department at Wheaton College is seeking applicants for a two-year Visiting Assistant Professor position starting Spring 2027 (Jan 18th) and continuing for Fall 2027, Spring 2028, and Fall 2028. The 3/3 teaching responsibilities will include upper-level courses in the candidate’s area of expertise in the Spring, and Genetics and a course in data analysis using R or Python geared towards bioscience majors in the Fall. We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise and teaching experience in evolution, genetics, or bioinformatics.

Wheaton’s Biology Department is committed to creating an innovative, inclusive learning environment. 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.

Applicants should submit a cover letter, CV, statement of teaching philosophy, and contact information for three references.

Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled.
