Some of these appointments may be reviewed for renewal or transition to an instructional position on an annual basis at the discretion of the Department Head.

Instructors may be needed to teach lecture courses in undergraduate Biology and/or Zoology during fall, winter, spring and summer terms . Additionally, instructors may be needed to teach Ecampus courses for Zoology majors. Ecampus courses are fully developed and would not require development time. Instructors will join a dynamic and innovative instructional team and be supported in course delivery and logistics by the department.

The Integrative Biology Department has teaching responsibilities in nearly every undergraduate major at OSU, and an important role to play in enhancing student success. Thus, we are particularly interested in qualified candidates with a demonstrated commitment to excellence in teaching, and experience collaborating with, advocating for, and mentoring people of diverse backgrounds. The department is committed to fostering an open and inclusive environment in which to learn and work, enhancing the diversity and equity of the university community, and improving access to higher education for underrepresented students.
