The University of Alabama is seeking applicants for the position of Assistant Professor within its CAATE-accredited Professional Athletic Training (AT) Program. This is a tenure-earning, nine-month position within the Department of Health Science, College of Human Environmental Sciences. It is a new faculty position that will add to our current roster of outstanding teachers and productive researchers.
In addition to academic coursework and clinical experiences, AT students are exposed to research through faculty presentations, guest lectures, and research project completion. The AT program is part of the newly formed Integrative Center for Athletic and Sport Technology (iCAST), a collaborative effort between the Colleges of Engineering, Human Environmental Sciences and Education. We will have an on-site visit for continuing CAATE-accreditation in 2017-2018 and will transition to the graduate level shortly thereafter.
Qualified candidates for this position are expected to have a completed doctorate in Exercise Science, Sports Medicine or a closely related discipline; current BOC certification; a minimum of three years of active clinical experience as an AT; demonstrated ability to initiate and maintain a focused research agenda that will result in external funding and peer-reviewed publications; familiarity with AT accreditation standards; and a record of excellence in teaching.
The successful candidate will assume responsibilities that will include maintaining a productive research agenda; teaching undergraduate and graduate AT courses; supervising undergraduate and graduate student research; assisting in program-related activities; and providing service to the program, department, college, university and profession.
Screening of applicants will begin on September 16, 2016 and continue until the position is filled. Complete application online at https://facultyjobs.ua.edu. Applicants should submit a cover letter, CV, a Research Statement that incorporates a clear research trajectory and a Teaching Philosophy Statement.
