Kinesiology & Applied Physiology
The Department of Kinesiology and Applied Physiology at the University of Delaware invites nominations and applications for the position of Department Chair. We seek a visionary academic with leadership experience who understands all facets of departmental life including instructional delivery, scholarship, external funding, resource/personnel management, and engagement with department stakeholders. We value a candidate who demonstrates a commitment to undergraduate and graduate education and will foster innovative teaching and scholarship. The candidate should have an earned doctorate in kinesiology or a related field and be eligible for an appointment at the rank of Associate Professor or Professor. The candidate is expected to promote a community and climate that is inclusive, collaborative, connected, and supportive, in turn enacting the College and University’s commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice, including efforts to diversify students and faculty.
GENERAL INFORMATION: The Department of Kinesiology and Applied Physiology (https://sites.udel.edu/kaap/) is comprised of 26 faculty, approximately 750 undergraduate students pursuing Bachelor of Science degrees in Exercise Science, Human Physiology, and Sports Health, and approximately 100 graduate students pursuing Master of Science degrees in Athletic Training, Clinical Exercise Physiology, and Exercise Science, as well as doctoral degrees in Applied Physiology and Biomechanics and Movement Sciences. The Department values excellent teaching and student engagement, which enhances the University’s efforts to provide a supportive environment, while promoting diversity and fostering teaching innovation, including the use of instructional technology and creative course development.
The College of Health Sciences is a dynamic, innovative academic unit with more than 3,400 undergraduate and graduate students and 131 faculty, who are nationally recognized leaders across multiple disciplines. The College is housed in multiple buildings on the traditional main campus, but also is an anchor tenant of the University’s Science, Technology, and Advanced Research (STAR) Campus. STAR has become an exciting center that combines business, research and education, focused on leading topics in health science, biopharmaceuticals, data science, engineering, finance and other cross-cutting fields of study. In addition to Kinesiology and Applied Physiology (ranked #5 according to the National Academy of Kinesiology), the College also includes academic departments or programs in Behavioral Health and Nutrition, Communication Sciences and Disorders, Epidemiology, Medical and Molecular Sciences, Physical Therapy (ranked Home by US News and World Report), and the School of Nursing. With annual research expenditures of approximately $19.5 million, the college currently houses a number of large, interdisciplinary grants with significant funding from the NIH, NSF, DoD as well as industry and foundation funding. The college boasts strong research teams in the areas of neurological disorders, cardiovascular health, and other chronic disease conditions, as well as rehabilitation science and concussion.
With roots tracing back to 1743, the University of Delaware combines tradition and innovation, offering students a rich heritage along with the latest in instructional and research technology. The University is an Equal Opportunity Employer with diversity as one of its core values and, in that spirit, seeks a broad spectrum of candidates including women, minorities and people with disabilities. The University of Delaware is the recipient of a National Science Foundation ADVANCE Institutional Transformation Grant, focused on enhancing the climate of the university for women and underrepresented minority faculty. Located in scenic Newark, Delaware, within 2 hours of New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C., the University is a Land Grant, Sea Grant, Space Grant, and Carnegie Research University (with very high research activity, a designation accorded to fewer than 3% of degree-granting institutions in the U.S.), and with external funding exceeding $200 million. A state-assisted, privately governed institution, the University enrolls approximately 18,000 undergraduates and 4,500 graduate students.
SALARY AND BENEFITS: Compensation packages are competitive and commensurate with experience and qualifications. Faculty at the University have regularly received annual cost-of-living and merit salary increases and the UD benefits package is one of the best in the nation. The University is responsive to the needs of dual career couples, supports work-life balance through an array of family-friendly policies, and is dedicated to broadening participation in higher education. Relocation funds are available. Appointment date is negotiable.

Nominations and expressions of interest will be held in confidence and references will be contacted only with the candidate’s permission.
