Job Description

This is an exciting opportunity to educate future healthcare and research professionals and contribute to the growth and development of the medical laboratory profession. We value innovative teaching that is discipline-focused while promoting student personal growth, and we are committed to creating community and excellence for faculty, staff, and learners. Professional development in teaching and involvement in the laboratory profession will be valued. The Biomedical Laboratory Diagnostics Program at Michigan State University invites applications for two Fixed Term Faculty positions (non-tenure) at a rank commensurate with experience. The appointments will be academic year, nine-month positions. The initial appointment is for one year. Reappointment will be considered contingent on program needs, available funding, and satisfactory performance. The MSU fixed-term faculty system provides opportunities for advancement through the professorial ranks (Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor). Additionally, following seven semesters of exemplary performance, faculty members may be eligible to apply for Designation B status, which provides five-year, rolling appointments. These individuals will be responsible for in-person and online instruction at the undergraduate and graduate level. The teaching load will be approximately 3 courses per semester. Specific teaching assignments will be based on the successful candidate's areas of expertise and the instructional needs of the BLD program. Additional responsibilities may include a combination of service, outreach, and curriculum development, based on the individual's expertise and interest. Professional engagement, such as involvement with medical laboratory-related professional societies, is strongly encouraged. The salary is negotiable and commensurate with experience. The Biomedical Laboratory Diagnostics (BLD) Program was established in 1926 and is within the College of Natural Science. MSU BLD offers two undergraduate degrees, Biomedical Laboratory Science and Medical Laboratory Science (a NACCLS accredited program) and three graduate degrees - an MA in Biomedical Laboratory Science, an MS in Clinical Laboratory Science, and an MS in Biomedical Laboratory Operations. Primary disciplines we teach include hematology and hemostasis, molecular diagnostics, scientific writing, laboratory management, pathology, clinical chemistry, immunology, immunohematology, and medical microbiology.
