Online Course Developer Jobs in Arizona (NOW HIRING)

The College of Nutrition at Sonoran University of Health Sciences is actively seeking a Subject Matter Expert (SME) to assist in the development of the 6-week, 2.0 credit, online course, Human Anatomy and Physiology I, and the 6-week, 3 credit, online course, Human Anatomy and Physiology II.

These courses are offered sequentially in the first quarter of the MS Clinical Nutrition (MSCN), MS Applied Clinical Nutrition (MSACN), and MS Nutrition Business Leadership (MSNBL) programs. Human Anatomy and Physiology I explores normal human anatomy and physiology across major organ systems. Students will examine the relationship between the structure and function of the human body, homeostasis, and the coordinated interactions that sustain human health. The organization of the human body will be explored from the cellular and tissue levels through organ systems, with an emphasis on the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. Human Anatomy and Physiology II continues to explore normal human anatomy and physiology across major organ systems with an emphasis on the gastrointestinal, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic/immune, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems. Upon completion of each course, students will be prepared to integrate anatomical and physiological principles into the practice of clinical nutrition.

Generally, Subject Matter Experts/Course Developers are expected to teach these courses at least once after development. A separate Job Description will be available for the teaching position.
