The Exercise and Sport Science Program at St. Catherine University in St. Paul, Minnesota, invites applications for a full-time (1.0 FTE) Assistant Professor position on a 9-month professional practice contract. This is an on-campus, in-person, position.
This faculty member will teach the equivalent of six courses a year. Most of these courses will be within the College for Women (CfW) in Exercise and Sport Science and may include Introduction to Exercise and Sport Science; Motor Learning and Motor Control; Fitness and Wellness; and Kinesiology and Biomechanics (with lab).

Degrees are offered to students at all levels, from the associate to the doctoral level. A key distinguishing factor is the programs' shared focus on ecological approaches to health, intercultural competency, and interprofessional collaboration. Faculty and staff will find ample opportunities for support for teaching, professional practice, and scholarly activities. The Institute of Simulation and Interprofessional Learning (I-SAIL) provides resources and expertise to support developing and implementing high-impact educational activities within HSSHS and the School of Nursing.
