Tenure-track at NC-State

Physics Education Research

The Department of Physics at NC State University has hired eleven new faculty members over the last six years and continues to seek highly qualified applicants in all areas for tenure-track and tenured positions. We are especially interested to receive applications from candidates to fill open positions in the area of physics education research. Successful applicants will be expected to establish vigorous research programs, and will have strong commitments to excellence in teaching. The Department has active and internationally recognized groups in astrophysics; biological physics; computational physics; nanoscale science; polymer, surface, optical and materials physics; nuclear and particle physics; and physics education research. We plan to hire primarily at the assistant professor level, but will also consider particularly qualified senior applicants. NC State University is one of the vertices of the Research Triangle, home to many industrial research campuses and federal and state research organizations.

Minimum qualifications include an earned Ph.D. degree in physics or a physics-related area. To receive full consideration, applications for the fall 2009 academic year should be received by November 30, 2008. Review of applicants will begin immediately but no final decision will be made prior to this date.

To apply, please visit the NC State University Employment website and designate position number 07-52-0807. You will be required to attach a curriculum vitae, a brief summary of research and teaching goals, and a list of at least three references.

The College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences welcomes the opportunity to work with candidates to identify suitable employment opportunities for spouses or partners.
