Location: Moraga, CA
Open Date: Jul 17, 2025
Deadline:
Description:Founded in 1863, Saint Mary's is a residential campus nestled 20 miles east of San Francisco in the picturesque Moraga Valley. Based in the Catholic, Lasallian and Liberal Arts traditions, Saint Mary's currently enrolls more than 4,000 students from diverse backgrounds in undergraduate and graduate programs. The De La Salle Christian Brothers, the largest teaching order of the Roman Catholic Church, guide the spiritual and academic character of the College.
As a comprehensive and independent institution, Saint Mary's offers undergraduate and graduate programs integrating liberal and professional education. Saint Mary's reputation for excellence, innovation, and responsiveness in education stems from its vibrant heritage as a Catholic, Lasallian and Liberal Arts institution. An outstanding, committed faculty and staff that value shared inquiry, integrative learning, and student interaction bring these traditions to life in the 21st century. The College is committed to the educational benefits of diversity.
Qualifications:
Research Methods and Writing (Kines 300) serves as an introduction to the research methods utilized in exercise science, sport, and health. There are three main goals associated with the course. The first goal is to engage the students with the empirical literature and familiarize them with the research methodology used in Kinesiology. Related to this, the second goal is to educate students about the various kinds of discipline-specific writing, which will serve as a means for demonstrating understanding of research, measurement, and dissemination of ideas in Kinesiology. This course serves as the department's "writing in the discipline" (WiD) course. It is both writing-intensive and content-rich and uses writing to deepen the learning of disciplinary content. Finally, the third goal is to examine how the important variables in the field are measured, and how various tests in the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains are constructed/implemented effectively.
This course will be taught in person on the Moraga campus during the 2025 Fall term on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:05-12:55 pm.
In addition to teaching, the instructor is expected to hold regular office hours (a minimum of one hour per week) in order to provide students with support outside of the classroom.
The successful candidate will hold an advanced degree in Kinesiology or a closely related field and have a recent publication record in the field, or a Master's degree in Kinesiology or a closely related field and have at least five years of current, relevant professional experience. Demonstrated teaching effectiveness at the undergraduate level, as evidenced by recent course evaluations, is strongly preferred. Candidates should be comfortable supporting and working in a multi-cultural environment. Preference will be given to those who have taught the course or KINES 015.
Candidates must reside in California.
The salary range for this position is $7,447 - 10,308 (3 units) and is covered by the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the College and SEIU, Local 1021, available here.
