Pepperdine University's Seaver College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences, located in Malibu, California, invites applications for a tenure-track appointment as an Assistant Professor of Sports Medicine beginning in the 2017-2018 academic year. Applicants must have completed a Ph.D. in kinesiology or a related field by July 2017. Candidates with post-doctoral research experience are strongly preferred.
Successful candidates will contribute to a vibrant curriculum in the exercise sciences. Candidates must have demonstrated doctoral/post-doctoral preparation for teaching undergraduate coursework in two or more areas of sports medicine, including human anatomy, human physiology, exercise physiology, functional anatomy, kinesiology, and biomechanics. Candidates are expected to establish a research program that involves undergraduate students. We are especially interested in candidates with research interests that involve the interaction of exercise with functional movement, human physiology, exercise physiology, and kinesiology. Current research interests in the department include cognitive function and aging, vascular physiology, neural biology and exercise performance, and exercise and pregnancy. Well-equipped biomechanics and physiology laboratories are available for teaching and research and opportunities for collaboration also exist with faculty in biology, physics, engineering, and computer science.
Successful candidates also must demonstrate an active commitment to Pepperdine’s
Christian mission (see http://seaver.pepperdine.edu/about/mission/ and http://www.pepperdine.edu/about/pepp...tiantradition/).
