Established in 1887 as a school for the education of American Indians, The
University of North Carolina at Pembroke serves a distinctly diverse student
body and encourages inclusion and appreciation of the values of all people.
Located in the heart of Pembroke, N.C., UNCP boasts an enrollment of 8,200 in
41 undergraduate and 18 graduate programs and offers a personalized learning
environment where faculty and staff are dedicated to engaged scholarship, high
academic standards, creative activity and public service. Spread over 281
acres, the campus offers a sense of community and belonging-–a place where
faculty and staff feel supported, take pride in the university's mission, and
are devoted to excellence in teaching, learning and research, and to
developing leaders who make a difference in their communities.
The University of North Carolina at Pembroke invites applications for a
tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor, beginning Spring
2023 (9-month appointment). Successful candidates will have demonstration of
excellence in university teaching at the undergraduate level. We are seeking a
broadly trained ecologist to teach a variety of biology courses (e.g.
ecology, biometrics, biogeography, vertebrate zoology, animal behavior, marine
biology, environmental science, and environmental laws in both lecture and lab
settings. Special consideration will be given to candidates able to develop
and teach quantitative ecological courses (as needed, depending on
candidate's background and qualifications); mentor and advise students;
promote undergraduate research; and engage in scholarship and professional
service.
Faculty members are expected to demonstrate a purposeful commitment to
teaching, fostering student success through effective faculty advising,
actively engaging in the publication and presentation of scholarly research,
and participating in appropriate university and department service.
Opportunities exist for (optional) appointments in the Maynor Honor's
College and in the Graduate School to support the Science Education Program.
Strong preference will be given to candidates with potential for both
independent and student-mentored research, although teaching remains the
primary responsibility.

University of North Carolina system, is committed to building a culturally
diverse community of faculty, staff, and students dedicated to contributing to
