The Department of Physics at The College of New Jersey (TCNJ) invites outstanding applicants for a tenure-track faculty position as Department Chair, starting August 2010. Candidates at the advanced Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, and Professor ranks will be considered.
Teaching and research are mutually supportive activities at TCNJ. Candidates should be strongly committed to the teacher-scholar model in a primarily undergraduate, residential institution and to maintaining both high quality teaching and an active and productive research program involving highly motivated undergraduates. Faculty members also serve as academic advisors and have service responsibilities within the College. A research laboratory and competitive start-up funds will be provided. The Physics Department is housed in a modern science complex (opened Fall 2002) that offers state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities and instrumentation.
