Clinical Assistant Professor of Kinesiology

The Department of Kinesiology at Cornell College invites applications for a full-time Clinical Assistant Professor of Kinesiology beginning in August of 2025 for a three-year appointment with the possibility of renewal.

Teaching responsibilities may include areas of sport sociology, anatomy and physiology and general health and well-being.  The successful candidate will also serve as an academic advisor for Kinesiology majors and serve on a department or college committee.

The Department seeks individuals committed to excellence and innovation in undergraduate education.  

Applicants must have a terminal degree in Kinesiology or a related field; college-level teaching experience is preferred.

Candidates nearing completion of a terminal degree or highly qualified/experienced Masters-level candidates may be considered for a renewable appointment as Lecturer.   

Because Cornell College values diversity and strives to create a welcoming community in which all individuals are respected and included, the entire campus community engages in dialogue around issues of difference, identity, and ideology.

The college is committed to fostering a faculty and staff community that reflects our diverse student body.

We encourage applications from candidates who share our vision for a campus that embraces differing backgrounds, viewpoints, and identities, and who will excel at teaching and mentoring a student body that is broadly diverse.  (See our diversity and inclusion statement.)

Cornell’s One Course At A Time academic calendar is divided into eight- 3½ week blocks in which students take and faculty teach a single course.

  The college encourages interdisciplinary interests among its faculty and the development of teaching strategies that capitalize on our distinctive academic calendar.

One Course At A Time allows us the freedom to take students off-campus without impinging on other course commitments.

In addition, class size is limited to 25 students, and upper-level courses are often smaller.
