The Department of Physics at Lawrence University invites applications for a three-year appointment as Visiting Assistant Professor of Physics to start 9/1/11. Applicants must hold the Ph.D. degree in physics or a closely related discipline and demonstrate genuine interest in working with undergraduates. We seek a conscientious teacher and a practicing physicist who will thrive in a four-year, liberal arts institution where close contact and collaboration with students are the norm. Prior teaching and/or postdoctoral experience preferred.

Boldt Way—SPC 24, Lawrence University, Appleton, WI 54911. Evaluation of candidates will begin on March 21 and continue until the position is filled.
