Marlboro College, a liberal arts college of 300 students and 41 faculty members, invites applications from broadly trained, dedicated teachers for a full-time, tenure-track position in Physics. The successful candidate will teach introductory and intermediate physics courses and support advanced, independent, often cross-disciplinary work in a liberal arts setting. Candidates must have a broad knowledge of physics, including experimental, theoretical, and computational approaches, and show a passion for teaching. While we are open to any area of research that encourages undergraduate work, we are particularly interested in candidates with interests in astronomy/astrophysics or the environment and who will support student use of our small observatory. College teaching experience and PhD required.

We are committed to the development of clear writing and a global perspective. Our undergraduate students enjoy a 7:1 student-faculty ratio, a voice in governing the community, and individualized courses of study on a 350-acre campus in the hills of southern Vermont. Marlboro College is an Equal Opportunity employer. The faculty, students, and staff share a commitment to diversity and the values of equality, inclusion, and respect for all human differences.
