The University of Mary Hardin Baylor’s Mayborn College of Health Sciences seeks qualified faculty for its School of Exercise & Sport Science, beginning in late July of 2026, with initial appointment at the rank of Assistant/Associate/Full Professor, commensurate with experience.  UMHB seeks faculty who are active Christians and dedicated teacher-scholars to prepare students for leadership, service, and faith-informed discernment in a global society.

The School of Exercise & Sport Science offers two undergraduate degree programs with five major options. Specifically, the undergraduate degrees offered include the Bachelor of Sport Management (B.S.M.) and the Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences (B.S.H.S.), which includes three options: the B.S.H.S. in EC-12 Physical Education, the B.S.H.S. in Exercise Physiology, and the B.S.H.S. in Health Science.
