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

Start Date: August 25, 2025

Description: At Carroll University, we are committed to identifying and employing strategies to support our goal to be and remain a socially just organization. Rooted in the Presbyterian (U.S.A.) heritage, we respect all aspects of diversity, embrace the practice of equity, expect inclusion, and embrace belonging throughout our community. Therefore, we seek applicants who can demonstrate their understanding of justice and who can inspire our increasingly diverse student population.

Responsibilities: Responsibilities of this 9-month appointment include teaching, scholarship, and service. Teaching responsibilities include courses in the undergraduate Exercise Science (ESC) program such as: exercise physiology and labs, exercise testing and prescription in apparently healthy populations and labs, nutrition, and professionalism. There is a possibility of teaching in the graduate Sport Physiology & Performance Coaching (SPPC) and/or clinically focused Exercise Physiology Program. Those with expertise related to healthy, sport or performance physiology are encouraged to apply.

Qualifications: Doctorate in Exercise Physiology or closely related field is required. Demonstration of successful teaching and scholarly activity is required. NSCA-CSCS and/or ACSM-EP 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 ESC program is currently seeking CAAHEP/CoAES accreditation and possible future NSCA/CASCE accreditation. The MEXP program is seeking CAAHEP/CoAES accreditation and the 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 new Carroll University Community Health Services building was recently purchased and renovated to support these activities. 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.
