This position is dedicated to teaching physiology to medical students through both large-group and small-group learning formats. As ATSU-SOMA is an education-focused institution, we do not maintain facilities or equipment for bench or biomedical laboratory research.

- Develop and prepare educational materials.
- Provide reliable and valid formative and summative assessment items, including board-style questions.
- Engage with all students to help them achieve their fullest potential.
- Advise, mentor, and provide constructive feedback to students.
- Participate in departmental and institutional committees.
- Act as a course director as needed in the preclinical curriculum.
- Engage in scholarly activity, including but not limited to education, teaching methods, or community-based research.
- Contribute to faculty development offerings and curricular meetings.
- Interview prospective students for ATSU-SOMA.
- Accept assignments and directives from the Department Chair and Curricular Deans.
- Perform additional duties as assigned to meet the goals and mission of ATSU-SOMA.
Requirements
Education & Experience:
- A terminal degree (PhD or DSc) in physiology or related field.
- Teaching experience in higher education with a demonstrated ability to engage students.
- Strong preference for candidates experienced in collaborative and interactive teaching strategies, such as case-based or team-based learning.
Essential Knowledge & Skills:
- Expertise in physiology with a focus on educational application rather than research.
- Proficiency with student privacy standards (FERPA, HIPAA).
- Strong communication skills and computer literacy (MS Office Suite and learning management systems).
- Organizational skills to manage multiple tasks and priorities effectively.
- Ability to adhere to deadlines.
- Flexibility and willingness to contribute to a collegial academic environment.
Important Considerations:
ATSU-SOMA values education-focused faculty members who prioritize student learning, educational innovation, and professional collaboration. Faculty members will have opportunities to participate in scholarly activities, such as developing new teaching methods or educational research, but should not expect resources for laboratory-based or biomedical bench research.
