Two posts at UW Colleges, Barron County

Assistant Professor of Physic & Astronomy
UW-Barron County
Do you like to teach? Does a university environment that enables you to know all your students and interact with them in small classes interest you? How about a campus where you can know all your colleagues and are encouraged to develop interdisciplinary courses? Have you considered living in one of the most beautiful lake areas in the US that is also an economic, medical, and intellectual center in northwestern Wisconsin?

Position 1: TT physics:
The Department of Computer Science, Engineering, Physics and Astronomy (CSEPA) of the University of Wisconsin Colleges invites applications for a full-time tenure-track position in Physics and Astronomy at the UW-Barron County campus in Rice Lake. A PhD in physics is required by the contract starting date. Preference will be given to candidates with successful teaching experience, especially in undergraduate education. Also desirable are interest or experience in instructional technology, distance education, assessment of student learning, and collaborative learning. The teaching assignment is 12 to 14 contact hours per semester and includes basic freshman and sophomore level physics and freshman level astronomy courses. As a tenure-track position, this requires teaching excellence, continued professional development, institutional and community service, and student advising. The incumbent will be encouraged to develop interdisciplinary courses.

Position 2: Adjunct physics:
The Department of Computer Science, Engineering, Physics and Astronomy of the University of Wisconsin Colleges invites applications for an Associate Lecturer of Physics at UW-Barron County in Rice Lake for the 2008 Spring Semester. The possibility exists for renewal in the following year. A master's degree in physics is required, and preference will be given to those with teaching experience at the freshman college level. Innovative teaching experience as an instructor and/or as a teaching assistant are highly regarded. The department and campus have preference for candidates with interests or experience in instructional technology, distance education, assessment of student learning, and/or collaborative learning. The teaching assignment is 9 credits, which includes two introductory physics classes, one calculus based and the other non-calculus based.
