Founded in 1834, Franklin College is a residential, liberal arts institution with a scenic, wooded campus, spanning 207 acres, including athletic fields and a 31-acre biology woodland. Students enjoy the comfort and safety of suburban living, while also experiencing the many opportunities Indianapolis has to offer with a short 20-minute drive to downtown. The college prepares students to think independently, to lead responsibly and to serve with integrity in their professions, their communities and the world.  The college offers its approximately 1,000 students Bachelor of Arts degrees in 51 majors from 25 academic disciplines, 42 minors, 11 pre-professional programs and five cooperative programs. In 1842, the college began admitting women, becoming the first coeducational institution in Indiana and the seventh in the nation.  Franklin College maintains a voluntary association with the American Baptist Churches USA.  For more information, visit www.FranklinCollege.edu.  Find Franklin College on Facebook and follow @FranklinCollege on Twitter.
The successful candidate will join faculty colleagues who are passionate about classroom teaching and actively engaged in campus and community service. The normal workload for a tenure-track faculty member involves teaching 12 hours/semester, a month-long winter term class every other year, a college committee assignment, and student advising. There are no summer school teaching responsibilities, but the possibility exists to offer a summer class or oversee undergraduate research projects for additional compensation.
The Sciences have always been one of Franklin College's strongest academic disciplines. Our graduates, who have an 80%+ acceptance rate for professional schools, are employed by employers such as Eli Lilly Inc., Dow AgroSciences, Heritage Environmental, and the Department of Environmental Management. In order to continue this tradition of success and meet the changing needs of our students, we recently began a two- pronged strategic initiative. The first requires implementation of a newly designed curriculum with a higher emphasis on hands-on learning, including participation in independent research projects or specialized internships, and on the application of new technologies. We expect the successful candidate to be able to use four recently-acquired ultrasound imaging units in teaching current courses, involving students in undergraduate research or design ultra-sound imaging related courses that contribute to our premed curriculum. The second involves a capital campaign and construction/renovation of the campus science facilities. As we move the project through the planning and building phases, input from each individual member of the Natural Science Division will be critical to ensure the end product meets the needs of, and vision for, his/her specialty.
Franklin faculty members receive funds for professional development and have access to a variety of benefit programs as outlined at http://franklincollege.edu/about-fc/human-resources/benefits/.
