Department Summary:
The Department of Biological Sciences at Bridgewater State University is a dynamic community with over 400 undergraduate majors and a growing master's program. We aim to provide our students with a broad background in the biological sciences while also supporting subdisciplines of interest (e.g., we have concentrations in Cellular and Molecular Biology, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Biomedical Science and Pre-medicine, and Secondary Education). Given the number of positions in biotechnology, research, education and health care in the area, the mission of the department is to train students and support their placement into the workforce and advanced degree programs. Students are the central focus and an integral part of the Department, working side-by-side with faculty who are enthusiastically committed to teaching and research. A strong sense of community is fostered through small class sizes and individualized research and career mentoring from faculty. Our department has a strong and well-supported undergraduate research program that supports student research projects and student travel to present their research at local, national, or international conferences. The candidate will join thirteen Full-Time Tenure-Track Faculty in the department and teach a diverse student population. In Fall 2025, 46% of our declared majors were students of color, 48% were first-generation, 38% were low-income, and 20% were LGBTQIA+. Within the College of Science and Mathematics, and in our department, we have an active Collective focused on Equity and Racial Justice, and this new faculty member is encouraged to participate in this work. Successful candidates will be faculty members who can work with their colleagues to help meet the mission of the department in serving and supporting our racially and ethnically diverse campus community.

Bridgewater State University is an inclusive community dedicated to the lifelong success of all students; focused on the continuous improvement of its people; and is responsible for leading innovation that benefits Southeastern Massachusetts, the commonwealth, and the world.
