We seek applicants with expertise in microbiomes, evolutionary medicine and comparative approaches, human-wildlife interactions and One Health, and/or environmental health and health disparities and a record of excellence in teaching at the undergraduate level.

It is one of the largest and fastest growing majors on campus. Much of this success is due to IU Human Biology’s innovative educational practices, including interdisciplinary team teaching and active student research, that promote a holistic approach to scientific issues as they relate to the biology of humans. Current faculty within the program share appointments with numerous academic departments across the College of Arts and Sciences, including Anthropology, Biology, Geography, History and Philosophy of Science and Medicine, and Psychological and Brain Sciences. We encourage applicants from these disciplines and adjacent fields to apply. Please submit (1) a cover letter describing your educational background, research and teaching experience and current interests, and reasons for interest in the position; (2) curriculum vitae; (3) a statement of teaching philosophy including evidence of teaching ability, and (4) the names and contact information for three letters of recommendation. Questions about the position should be addressed to the Human Biology Program ([email protected]) and the IU Human Biology Program Director, Dr. Michael Wasserman ([email protected]).
