Qualifications: 1) Ph.D. (preferred), or ABD in Exercise Physiology or closely related field, from an accredited doctoral-granting institution. 2) Record of undergraduate teaching success. 3) Demonstrated commitment to professional and scholarly activity (extramural funding desirable).

Responsibilities: CSUB is looking specifically for a dynamic person with knowledge, skills, and abilities to work cooperatively with current faculty in delivering the current curriculum and offering additional research opportunities to serve more effectively an ever-increasing number of majors (approximately 500 students) representing a diverse student body in a culturally diverse community. Teaching assignments may include, but are not limited to, the following existing courses—Exercise Physiology, Exercise Prescription, Epidemiology, and Measurement and Evaluation.

The Department also prefers candidates with professional certifications (i.e., NSCA, ACSM) and experience in health promotion activities. As a tenure-track Assistant Professor, the candidate must develop, within a normal 6-year probationary period, a sustained record of teaching success (especially at the undergraduate level), research and scholarship (especially involving undergraduate students), and professionally-related service to the Department, University and local community to justify the award of tenure and promotion to Associate Professor.

Background Check: A background check (including a criminal records check) must be completed satisfactorily before any candidate can be offered a position with the CSU. Failure to satisfactorily complete the background check may affect the application status of applicants or continued employment of current CSU employees who apply for the position.

Compensations: Competitive, dependent upon qualifications and professional experience. The CSU offers excellent health, dental, vision, and retirement benefits.

Applications: Nominations are welcomed and encouraged. Complete applications require the following five (5) items: (1) original and personalized letter of application addressing the above qualifications and responsibilities; (2) current vitae; (3) copy of university transcripts verifying academic record and award of doctorate (or anticipated award for ABD); (4) copy of publication, submitted manuscript, or professional writing sample; and (5) names and contact information (mailing address, email address, and office telephone number) for at least three professionals familiar with your teaching and scholarship records. Please send completed applications to the search committee chair at the address listed above. Search committee will begin reviewing completed applications on/about Tuesday, November 12, 2019 and will continue until the position is filled.
