The Denison University Department of Physics and Astronomy invites applications for a tenure track assistant professor preferably starting Fall, 2010, although a later start may be considered under exceptional circumstances.
Ph.D. required. (ed: Ph.D. in physics preferred.) We are seeking candidates vitally interested in teaching physics at both the beginning and advanced levels including laboratory-based courses. The successful applicant is expected to carry out active research with the involvement of undergraduates. Substantial start-up funds for research will be available, and Denison supports generous professional and family leave programs.
Denison University is a highly-selective liberal arts college of 2100 students, located in Granville, Ohio, 30 minutes from Columbus.

Applicants should submit vita, graduate school transcripts, a description of teaching interests and experience, a proposed research plan including the means for involving undergraduates, and three (3) letters of reference online at https://employment.denison.edu.
