The Physics Department at Mount Holyoke College seeks applicants for a Visiting Assistant Professor position beginning fall 2011. A Ph.D. is required and post-doctoral experience is preferred. Applicants should have a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching and be able to teach a broad range of courses from our upper level undergraduate physics curriculum. The college has well equipped research facilities, and development of a research program that can include undergraduates is desirable but not required. There is a possibility of extended offers for an additional 1-2 years, pending approval.
Please apply on-line at https://jobsearch.mtholyoke.edu. To be assured of full consideration, all of the following should be received by March 9, 2011: letter of interest, CV, statement of teaching philosophy explicitly listing which of our 300-level physics courses the applicant is comfortable teaching, a list of any relevant courses taught previously, and three letters of recommendation. Electronic prompts to referees will be generated automatically once the completed application has been submitted. For more information, please go to http://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/physics/.
