The Department of Kinesiology at Westmont College invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position at the Assistant or Associate rank to begin in August 2022. Candidates must have a terminal academic degree (Ph.D., Ed.D.), a commitment to excellence in teaching undergraduates, and a passion to mentor undergraduates research.
A variety of specializations will be considered. Teaching responsibilities will include both lower- and upper-division courses in kinesiology and may include general education. Slight preference will be given to candidates who demonstrate an ability to support the teaching of topics such as pedagogy, geriatrics, anatomy, or clinical sciences. The new faculty will also have the opportunity to create an elective course within their area of interest and play a role in crafting the future of Kinesiology at Westmont. New collaborative opportunities exist within Westmont’s athletics, nursing, engineering, global studies, and physiology programs and outside Westmont at physical therapy and nursing facilities. The ideal new faculty will be invigorated by collaboration and student engagement.
The Kinesiology Department equips graduates with 1) appreciation for the human body, 2) an ability to describe human movement from different perspectives, 3) appreciation for research, 4) competency present skills, 5) ability to promote health and exercise, and 6) be strong candidates for graduate programs in allied health sciences. Therefore, we seek new faculty that embrace this vision and will support our students in these educational goals.
Westmont College is a national liberal arts college in the evangelical Protestant tradition, seeking faculty with a vital and informed commitment to the Christian faith. We continually aim to diversify the faculty and strongly encourage applications from historically underrepresented groups within the sciences for this position.
