Newport News, Virginia
Working Title: Visiting Assistant Professor of Biology (Cell and Molecular Focus) Appointment Type: Full Time Purpose of Position: The Department of Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Science at Christopher Newport University invites applications for a Visiting Assistant Professor (VAP) beginning Spring 2026. This is a full-time, non-tenure track appointment through Summer 2027, with the possibility of continuation. The department is particularly interested in candidates who have experience working with students from diverse backgrounds and a demonstrated commitment to their success. A Ph.D. in Biology, Environmental Science, or a closely related field is required for appointment at the rank of Visiting Assistant Professor. ABD candidates who will not hold the Ph.D. by the time of appointment may be considered for appointment at the rank of Visiting Instructor. We seek a broadly trained biologist with disciplinary expertise in any subfield of cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, and/or physiology. Applicants able to bridge their expertise with environmental science ( sensu lato ) are especially encouraged to apply and highlight those connections in their letter of interest and teaching statement. The successful candidate will contribute to both undergraduate and graduate teaching in our department and help advance our recent dual-enrollment initiative with regional high school teachers. The VAP will play a key role in this initiative, which is focused on preparing high-school teachers to teach introductory college-level biology, by developing graduate-level coursework for the department's Master of Science in Environmental Science program in their area of expertise. The successful candidate will be expected to offer evening in-person and asynchronous online instruction to help support the growth and development of that initiative as well as our degree-seeking graduate students. In addition, the VAP will also help contribute to existing foundational and upper-level undergraduate courses in the department, with specific assignments based on expertise and departmental needs. The nominal teaching load for this appointment is 4-4. Departmental Information: The Department of Biology, Chemistry, and Environmental Science (BCES) is composed of 34 faculty members and is housed in the $80 M integrated science building, which includes modern teaching and research laboratories and classroom spaces for faculty in multiple disciplines. The department oversees roughly 770 students in pursuit of a B.S. degree in Biology (with majors in Cellular, Molecular, and Physiological Biology, Integrative Biology, Organismal and Environmental Biology, and Kinesiology), a B.A. in Biology, and a B.S. in Chemistry (with majors in Chemistry, and Biochemistry), and works in conjunction with the Psychology Department to support the B.S. degree in Neuroscience. Our faculty are committed to high-impact teaching practices, undergraduate mentorship, and collaboration across disciplines. The department also houses our Master of Science in Environmental Science program which, aside from our dual-enrollment initiative, provides a thesis and non-thesis M.S. degree track for students interested in careers and/or future graduate work in the environmental sciences. Coursework in the graduate program encompasses both the biological and chemical science expertise of our faculty to provide an interdisciplinary experience for our graduate students. Candidates wishing to know more about the department and its academic programs are invited to visit our website. Because our department recently merged, further information about our programs can also be found on the former Organismal and Environmental Biology, and Molecular Biology and Chemistry, departmental websites.

ABD candidates who will not hold the Ph.D. by the time of appointment may be considered for appointment at the rank of Visiting Instructor. We seek a broadly trained biologist with disciplinary expertise in any subfield of cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, and/or physiology. Applicants able to bridge their expertise with environmental science ( sensu lato ) are especially encouraged to apply and highlight those connections in their letter of interest and teaching statement. The successful candidate will contribute to both undergraduate and graduate teaching in our department and help advance our recent dual-enrollment initiative with regional high school teachers. The VAP will play a key role in this initiative, which is focused on preparing high-school teachers to teach introductory college-level biology, by developing graduate-level coursework for the department's Master of Science in Environmental Science program in their area of expertise. The successful candidate will be expected to offer evening in-person and asynchronous online instruction to help support the growth and development of that initiative as well as our degree-seeking graduate students. In addition, the VAP will also help contribute to existing foundational and upper-level undergraduate courses in the department, with specific assignments based on expertise and departmental needs.
