Assistant Teaching Professor for the Mathematical Biology Curriculum, UCLA

 As an emerging Hispanic Serving Institution, and building on a decade of hiring faculty who are committed to supporting the success of the diverse undergraduate student population at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), the Division of Life Sciences, Department of Integrated Biology & Physiology Department, and the Life Science Education Department invites applicants for an Assistant Teaching Professor. An Assistant Teaching Professor is a full-time faculty position with potential for promotion to Associate Teaching Professor, which is equivalent to tenure, and is a full member of the Academic Senate. The Division of Life Sciences is deeply committed to building a community of scholars in education, and is currently conducting three separate searches for Assistant Teaching Professors. 

 

Teaching Professors’ expertise and responsibilities center on undergraduate education, and the scholarly analysis and improvement of pedagogy. The successful candidate will employ and conduct research on inclusive, evidence-based, innovative teaching practices, and will effectively educate and support diverse student populations. They will also engage with graduate students and faculty on pedagogical innovation. The candidate for this position should have expertise in Mathematical Biology, Mathematics, or Mathematics Education. 

 

Over the past 10 years, UCLA has developed a revolutionary approach to teaching mathematics to life science students. This two-quarter course is called Mathematics for Life Scientists (LIFESCI 30) and is based on the text Modeling Life. LIFESCI 30, which heavily incorporates active and inclusive teaching practices, has been shown to improve student interest and self-efficacy in Mathematics, performance in future STEM classes, and retention in STEM. The candidate’s primary teaching responsibility will be teaching this class, and will also include opportunities to develop an upper-division course applying Mathematics in Biology. 

 

Diversity, equity and inclusion are central to the mission of excellence in the Life Science Division at UCLA, and we are committed to creating and fostering an environment in which all of our researchers, students, staff, and faculty experience a sense of belonging and thrive. We strongly encourage applications from individuals from underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, and other individuals who are underrepresented in the field, across color, creed, race, ethnic and national origin, physical ability, gender and sexual identity, or any other legally protected basis. UCLA offers a diverse campus community and is a leader in advancing strategies to diversify its faculty. This includes recent initiatives such as the Mentor Professor Initiative, Rising to the Challenge, Hispanic-Serving Institution initiative, and Native American/Pacific Islander Bruins Rising. UCLA has programs to assist in partner employment, childcare, schooling, and other family concerns. For additional information, visit the UCLA Academic Personnel Office website. The Integrative Biology and Physiology (IBP) and LS Core Education Departments are committed to addressing the family needs of employees, including dual career couples and single parents. We also welcome applications from candidates who have followed non-traditional career paths.
