PSL350 – Exercise PhysiologyCourse Number and Title: PSL350H1S Mammalian Molecular Biology Course Description: Extend molecular biology concepts to current scientific literature in mammalian physiology. Apply these principles to disease and complex behaviours. Discuss bioethical issues raised by these techniques and their application. Benefit from three weeks in small group seminars lead by research professors focusing on current advances in mammalian molecular biology. Estimated Course Enrolment: 140 Estimated TA support: 3-5 Class Schedule: During the scheduled Arts and Science winter term, with classes Tuesdays 10-12 a.m. and Thursdays 3-5 p.m. Sessional Dates of Appointment: January to April 2026 Salary: $1,785.40 for teaching (inclusive of 4% vacation pay) + $786.92 for small group facilitation. Please note that should rates stipulated in the collective agreement vary from rates stated in this posting, the rates stated in the collective agreement shall prevail. Minimum Qualifications: PhD in physiology or related discipline and prior experience in molecular physiology and pathophysiology research. Preferred Qualifications: Prior experience in molecular physiology and pathophysiology teaching, as well as in facilitating active learning. Description of Duties: (1) Develop and present lectures on (a) circadian rhythms and transcription and (b) exercise physiology on February 10 and February 17 (10am-12noon), respectively and run the corresponding practicum sessions on February 12 and February 19 (3-5pm). For the lecture/practicum topic, the following need to be developed and uploaded to Quercus: (i) lecture slides, (ii) a research paper to be reviewed in the practicum (uploaded at start of course), (iii) a short 5-10 question knowledge quiz (completed prior to practicum) and (iv) a short 10-15 question follow up quiz assessing knowledge and critiques. Must respond to student queries related to the lecture, as appropriate. (2) Prepare unique exam questions for midterm test (with answer key for TA marking) and new make-up test questions, if required. (3) Facilitate a small group topic activity (March 24 – April 2), which includes (i) a lecture that does not overlap with class lectures, (ii) marking student lay summaries/critiques and (iii) assessing student presentations. These duties represent 18.18% of the lectures + practicums for the course.
