Bucknell is a highly selective, predominately undergraduate, private university with approximately 3600 students enrolled in the Colleges of Arts & Sciences and Engineering. Bucknell is located in close proximity to the Marcellus Shale natural gas play and to Geisinger Health Systems, a nationally recognized leader in evidence-based medicine. Bucknell's current fundraising campaign includes two themes which indicate its strong commitment to these policy areas: the Human Health Initiative and the Sustainability Initiative.

Bucknell University believes that students learn best in a diverse, inclusive community and is therefore committed to academic excellence through diversity in its faculty, staff, and students. Thus, we seek candidates who are committed to Bucknell's efforts to create a climate that fosters the growth and development of a diverse student body. We welcome applications from members of groups that have been historically underrepresented in higher education. Bucknell is an EEO employer.
