The Department of Biological Sciences at Thompson Rivers University is made up of a diverse and collaborative group of faculty offering a B.Sc. degree with majors in: Biology; Animal Biology; Ecology and Environmental Biology; Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology; and, in collaboration with the Department of Physical Sciences, Chemical Biology. Cross-cutting themes include: the evolutionary frameworks guiding fundamental and applied ecology; responses of humans and diverse living communities to external stressors, including cellular responses; the use of classical and modern statistical, bioinformatic, and genomic tools to interrogate hypotheses and develop solutions for environmental problems. Core to these themes is a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching and mentorship, collaboration within the Department and with colleagues across campus, participation in undergraduate Honours and MSc programs, and developing a positive environment where students are encouraged to grow as independent learners and critical thinkers.

Currently, the Department includes faculty with expertise in marine and terrestrial invertebrate, insect, bird, bat, plant, microbial (Bacteria, Archaea, fungi), and human biology, at the levels of small molecules, proteins, nucleic acids, organs, individuals, populations and communities.

We are currently seeking a Microbiologist with demonstrated excellence in teaching. This posting is for a Limited Term Contract Instructor for Fall Semester 2024 and Winter Semester 2025 to teach:

Introductory Microbiology Labs (BIOL 2160): 3 lab sections, ~9 hrs/week (Fall 2024): Laboratory sessions provide hands-on training in cell culture techniques, applied microbiology, and manipulation of DNA.

Bioinformatics (BIOL 3010): 1 section, ~5hrs/week (Fall 2024): Students develop research skills required for framing strong hypotheses and performing robust experiments using large DNA and protein sequencing data sets. They examine approaches for data quality assessment and evaluation of bioinformatic tools, which are major themes of the course.

Advanced Microbiology Lab (BIOL 4110): 1 section, ~5 hrs/week (Winter 2025): Students apply theories learned in microbiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology in a hands-on laboratory environment.

Principles of Biology (BIOL1110): 2 lecture sections, ~6 hrs/week (Winter 2025): Students examine the molecular basis of cellular processes including energy transfer and the storage and use of genetic information.

Biometrics Lab (BIOL 3000): 1 section, ~2hrs/week (Winter 2025): The computer lab laboratory provides students with hands-on computer experience in graphical and statistical analysis.

Responsibilities include:

Delivering lectures face-to-face for lower and upper-level microbiology labs and bioinformatics/biometrics courses/labs, delivering lectures to two sections of principles of biology. In addition, the instructor is responsible for marking exams and assignments, presentations, consulting with students in person, on email, or via moodle. For further information on course content, please see the TRU Academic Calendar at https://www.tru.ca/campus/current/calendar.html
