Job description

Position Summary

The Dwyer School of Health Sciences and the Division of Health Sciences invite applicants for two full-time faculty positions in Health Sciences starting in the 2025-2026 academic year. One position may be tenure-track (Assistant Professor) and one or both positions may be non-tenure-track (Clinical Assistant Professor), depending on the qualifications and experience of the selected candidates.

These 10-month faculty positions require delivery of on-campus, hybrid, and online instruction in the Health Sciences Program, maintaining program evaluation, mentoring students, and other duties needed to support program function. The Bachelor of Science in Health Science program is one of the largest programs at Indiana University South Bend. Students complete a concentration in one of the following: Health Promotion, Rehabilitation Science, Speech-Language Pathology, and Sport and Exercise Science. Additionally, students can obtain minors in Health Promotion, Nutrition, Palliative and Supportive Care, and Sport and Exercise Science.

Faculty in the Division of Health Sciences are responsible for teaching core classes to all students and courses within a specific concentration area. We are seeking candidates with teaching and service experience in public health fields to teach and mentor students in the Health Promotion concentration and build community partnerships in public health. The successful candidate for the tenure-track line must also have an established scholarship program.

One of the two positions is expected to serve as the Program Director. The Program Director will oversee the program's daily academic and student-centered operations, including course scheduling, faculty mentoring and recruitment, curriculum management, and student engagement. This role will collaborate closely with other administrators in the Dwyer School of Health Sciences to provide both inspirational and practical leadership. Candidates should address their qualifications and interest in this administrative position in their cover letter. The Program Director role may be considered for a 12-month administrative contract based on program needs and interest of the appropriate candidate. Salary is commensurate with the candidate's qualifications and experience for the position to which the candidate applied.
