The College of Natural and Mathematical Sciences at the University of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC) invites applications for a full-time, 12-month, non-tenure-track lecturer position in bioinformatics for UMBC's newly launched bachelor's degree in Translational Life Science Technology (TLST).  This position is located at UMBC's branch campus in Rockville, Maryland at The Universities at Shady Grove.

RESPONSIBILITIES: As full-time teaching faculty, the incumbent will be responsible for teaching classes related to bioinformatics in the TLST program such as statistics, translational bioinformatics, and life science software applications.  The TLST curriculum is designed to align with the growing field of translational science which is the process of turning a scientific discovery into a life-saving solution while addressing critical workforce needs of the biotechnology industry. This is UMBC's first undergraduate STEM program being offered at The Universities at Shady Grove near the growing biotechnology industry hub in Montgomery County, Maryland.

In addition to teaching, the incumbent will be responsible for a modest level of administrative duties primarily related to the development and management of a bioinformatics concentration within the TLST B.S. degree program.  Other administrative duties include assisting with student recruitment and retention activities; advising students including guidance on internship opportunities; and assisting with the recruitment and support of bioinformatics-related adjunct faculty, if necessary.

Candidates should also have strong organizational, management, and interpersonal skills and enjoy working in transdisciplinary, dynamic environments due to the administrative duties of the position.

For best consideration, please submit a (1) cover letter of interest, (2) curriculum vitae, (3) separate statement discussing your teaching philosophy and relevant professional experiences and (4) list of three professional references by Monday, October 28, 2019, for best consideration.
