The Department
The Department of Biological Science, with 28 active full-time faculty members, has long been committed to an educational program that includes extensive involvement of diverse undergraduate and graduate students in research. Over 50% of our majors are from underrepresented groups with 49% Hispanic/LatinX, 2% Black and 5% multiethnic. Approximately 47% of our students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and 29% are the first in their family to pursue a college degree. The Department has undergraduate concentrations in cell and developmental biology, ecology and evolutionary biology, marine biology, molecular biology and biotechnology, and plant biology, and offers interdisciplinary non-degree minors in biotechnology, cell and molecular biology, and environmental biology. The Department also offers a Master of Science in Biology. We have several active, externally-funded training programs that support undergraduate research and contribute to the diversity of STEM fields. The Department is an active participant in the system-wide California State University (CSU) Program for Education and Research in Biotechnology (CSUPERB, https://www2.calstate.edu/impact-of-the-csu/research/csuperb) and the CSU Council on Ocean Affairs, Science and Technology (COAST, https://www2.calstate.edu/impact-of-the-csu/research/coast) which support inter-campus collaborations and foster applied research and workforce-directed education. California State University Fullerton (CSUF) is an active member of the CSU Ocean Studies Institute (http://www.scmi.net/ocean-studies-institute/) and the CSU Desert Studies Consortium (http://nsm.fullerton.edu/dsc/), which provide additional facilities and resources for coastal and desert research and education. The Department is well-equipped with modern research instruments and laboratory facilities that include several fluorescence microscopes, a confocal microscope, scanning electron microscope, and animal housing facilities. Annual departmental research funding is approximately $6.5 million from internal and external sources, and collaborative and interdisciplinary research is encouraged. Further information about the department is available at https://www.fullerton.edu/biology/.
The University and College
California State University, Fullerton is a federally designated Hispanic-Serving Institution, and an affirmative action and equal opportunity employer with a strong commitment to increasing the diversity of the campus community and the curriculum and fostering an inclusive environment within which students, staff, administrators, and faculty thrive. Candidates who can contribute to this goal through their teaching, research, advising and other activities are encouraged to identify their strengths and experiences in this area. Individuals advancing the University's strategic diversity goals and those from groups whose underrepresentation in the American professoriate has been severe and longstanding are particularly encouraged to apply.
The CSU system is the largest and most diverse university system in the country and one of the most affordable. CSUF is a comprehensive university serving southern California, especially Orange County. CSUF is the largest four-year public university of the 23 CSU campuses. Based on data from the U.S. Department of Education, CSUF ranks first in California and second nationally in the number of baccalaureate degrees awarded to Hispanics (Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education, May 2017) and fourth to underrepresented students (Diverse Issues in Higher Education, August 2018).
The College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics (CNSM; http://www.fullerton.edu/nsm/) is dedicated to the principle that teaching and research are intricately mixed and that undergraduate and M.S. graduate research, when properly approached, is an integral part of teaching. This fine balance between teaching and research is CNSM's greatest strength.
