Description: Tenure Track or Clinical Assistant or Associate Professor of Exercise Science

Responsibilities: Responsibilities of this 9-month appointment include teaching, scholarship, and service. Teaching responsibilities include courses in the undergraduate Exercise Science (ESC) program, as well as the Sport Physiology & Performance Coaching (SPPC) Master of Science program. Undergraduate teaching may include exercise physiology and labs, exercise testing and prescription in apparently healthy populations across the lifespan, introduction to exercise science, nutrition, and the experience-based capstone. Graduate teaching includes more advanced courses, with an emphasis on strength and conditioning, sport science, advanced training techniques, speed development, and program design. A role in the management of the internship portion of the graduate curriculum is also possible. Practical application and experiential learning occur through the program's Carroll University Sports Performance Institute (CUSPI). Service includes advising and program-, department-, college-, university-level meetings and committees.

Qualifications: Doctorate in Exercise Physiology or closely related field is required for the tenure track. Evidence of successful teaching, research productivity, and NSCA-CSCS or similar certification and practical experience is preferred.

Rank and Salary: Commensurate with qualifications.

The Department: The Department of Human Movement Sciences houses both undergraduate and Master's level exercise science programs. The BS in Exercise Science (ESC) program (~400 students) aligns with ACSM knowledge, skills, and abilities and is an NSCA Education Recognized Program. The Master's programs include the Master of Exercise Physiology (MEXP) program, an applied clinical emphasis leading to CEP certification, and the Sport Physiology & Performance Coaching (SPPC) program. The undergraduate ESC program is currently seeking CAAHEP/CoAES accreditation and possible future NSCA/CASCE accreditation. The MEXP program is seeking CAAHEP/CoAES accreditation and the MS-SPPC program is currently seeking NSCA/CASCE accreditation. The exercise science programs are also closely affiliated with multiple programs across the collaborative College of Health Sciences.

The MEXP program is housed at the Carroll University Center for Graduate Studies, a 55,000 sq. ft. interdisciplinary graduate teaching and research facility. Undergraduate and SPPC programs are located on the main campus, with recently built laboratory spaces (~5,000 sq. ft). All labs are well equipped with current technology for teaching and research activities. Equipment includes portable and laboratory-based gas analysis systems, ECG and stress testing systems, motion analysis and force plate systems, transcranial doppler, diagnostic ultrasound and EMG measurement technology.

Operated by program faculty and students, the Department houses the Carroll University Rehabilitative Exercise (CURE) Program and the Carroll University Sports Performance Institute (CUSPI). The CURE program screens, assesses, and prescribes individualized exercise interventions for medically compromised or at-risk populations in the greater Waukesha area. The CUSPI is dedicated to enhancing sport performance and the advancement of sport science through service, education, and research. Faculty and SPPC students test and monitor Carroll athletes, educate sport scientists and coaches, and complete applied and translational research projects.

The College: The College of Health Sciences offers undergraduate and graduate programs through seven departments- Athletic Training, Human Movement Sciences, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Physician Assistant Studies, Physical Therapy and Public Health, accounting for ~60% of the University enrollment. The mission of the College of Health Sciences is to educate students to be innovative professionals who collaborate to serve the health needs of their communities. College foci include interprofessional education and practice, an integrated approach to health, innovative learning and healthcare technologies, community partnerships and service to medically underserved populations. The College supports the interdisciplinary nature of health science education and has received federal and private foundation grant awards to support these as well as program specific initiatives. The college has a strong staff of academic administrative and support staff personnel.

Carroll University: Founded in 1846, Carroll University is an independent, co-educational comprehensive university grounded in the liberal arts tradition. Carroll University is located in suburban Waukesha, 16 miles west of Milwaukee and 60 miles east of Madison. The University serves approximately 3521 students.
