Morgan State University has openings in the fall of 2026. The courses will be:
- BIOL209 Principles of Animal Physiology (1 fellow)
- BIOL303 Genetics (1 fellow)
- BIOL405 Microbiology (1 fellow)
The Collaborative Teaching Fellow will co-teach an undergraduate biology course at Morgan State University. The fellow will have the opportunity to work closely with esteemed faculty members. The training plan consists of the following activities:
- Shadow class teaching for the first two weeks of the semester
- Design teaching materials with the practice of backward design, active learning, and assessments
- Lecture on at least two topics within the course
- Design and analyze student feedback
- Attending at least two teaching workshops.
- Develop a teaching statement
If desired, the fellow can attend department meetings and student activities. The working schedule is relatively flexible. This position doesn’t have compensation. Previous CTFP fellows have been offered part-time teaching positions after the training.
BIOL209 Principles of Animal Physiology:
Tuesdays and Thursdays 8am-10:50am (8/26/2026-12/9/2026), in-person.
4 credits
3 lecture hours. 3 lab hours.
The course is designed for biology and other science majors. This introductory course will emphasize the fundamental principles of vertebrate function at multiple levels of structural organization, including cellular, organ system, and whole-organism levels. The focus will be on the physiological concepts that deal with general mechanisms, while also considering the diversity of physiological adaptations among animals. Laboratory exercises will integrate lecture material, experimental techniques, and physiological variables.
BIOL303 Genetics:
Tuesdays and Thursdays 3pm-5:50am (8/26/2026-12/9/2026), in-person.
4 credits
3 lecture hours. 3 lab hours.
This course will cover fundamental principles of each of the three branches of genetics: classical/transmission, molecular, and population, and will supplement the theoretical concepts given in lectures with practical laboratory experiences focused on application of theoretical concepts of genetics.
BIOL405 Microbiology
Mondays and Wednesdays, 1pm-3:50am (8/26/2026-12/9/2026), in-person.
4 Credits
3 lecture hours. 3 lab hours.
This course offers a study of the fundamental concepts and laboratory techniques of microbiology, bacterial anatomy and physiology, principles of microbial growth, nutrition, metabolism, and genetics.
