Job Summary
The Georgia Institute of Technology is one of the top ranked
institutions in the country and ranks as one of the best places to
work. The School of Biological Sciences in the College of Sciences
invites applications for a full-time, non-tenure-track Lecturer
faculty position to teach courses in the Institute's Wellness
Requirement, beginning May 2023. The successful candidate will join
a vibrant faculty with interests in a broad range of wellness
initiatives and biological sciences as well as innovative pedagogy
and biology education research. While this position is housed in
Biological Sciences, we are seeking expertise in a scientific
approach to wellness that could come from a broader range of
disciplines.Ideal candidates should have experience teaching
undergraduate courses and an interest in innovative undergraduate
instruction. The Lecturer will instruct in a combination of the
following courses that fulfill the Wellness Requirement for Georgia
Tech undergraduates. Scientific Foundations of Health (APPH 1040)
is a large-lecture course (200+ students), where students learn how
genetics, the environment and human behavior influence well-being.
Topics include sustainable behavior change, mental health/stress
management, health fitness, immunity, nutrition, and chronic
disease prevention. In the Science of Physical Activity and Health
(APPH 1050), students learn the importance of health fitness,
nutrition, stress management and chronic disease prevention through
both lecture and a weekly physical activity focused on training to
improve fitness. Flourishing: Strategies for Well-being and
Resilience (APPH 1060) helps students improve their
health/well-being and flourish by using conceptual pillars such as
coping, resiliency, optimism, mindfulness, and emotional
intelligence.Primary responsibilities include lecture preparation
and instruction for wellness courses, administrative oversight
(specific to courses taught), and mentorship of teaching assistants
assigned to the course. This position also has the potential to
contribute to courses in the Biology or Neuroscience curriculum,
given expertise and programmatic need. Topics could include but are
not limited to the Biological Basis of Public Health, Global Health
Issues, Anatomy, Nutrition, Kinesiology, Introductory Biology, and
Genetics. Lecturers teach the equivalent of 24 credits per year
(Summer, Fall, Spring).Salary and rank will be commensurate with
experience and qualifications. This position is a renewable,
12-month, non-tenure-track appointment.
