About The Position

The School of Nursing at Boise State University invites applications for three faculty positions in Nursing. These are open-rank (Assistant or Associate Professor) and open-track (Tenure or Clinical) positions. Appointment rank and track will be determined based on the candidate's teaching experience, scholarly record, and professional contributions. Tenure-track candidates must meet the University's tenure-eligibility requirements. We are open to various Nursing specialties and areas of focus. The ideal start date for these positions is August 2026. These positions are location-specific to the Boise State University campus and require in-person, pre-license BS program teaching. Clinical Faculty will focus primarily on teaching students in both academic and clinical settings, supervising clinical experiences, and engaging in professionally related community service. While they may participate in research or scholarship activities, they are not required to do so as part of their regular assignment. Tenure-Track Faculty will teach, conduct research, develop a strong scholarly agenda in nursing or a closely related field, and participate in service activities. Candidates should be technologically competent and able to use technology to deliver effective education. For these positions, the ideal candidates will work mainly with students in the learning lab, simulation lab, and out in the clinical setting. There may be opportunities for didactic workload assignments in the future. Workload will be determined at the time of appointment and varies by track: Tenure-Track Faculty: Standard workload is 60% teaching, 20% scholarship, and 20% service. Clinical Faculty: Standard workload is 80% teaching and 20% service, or approximately 12 hours of didactic and clinical/lab/simulation courses per semester. Adjustments will be made based on research productivity, coordination duties, and service responsibilities, as negotiated with the Director and approved by the Dean.
