Two VAP at Elon University

The Department of Physics at Elon University seeks applicants for two (2) one-year, limited-term/full-time positions for the 2012-2013 academic year. The primary responsibility of the first position will be teaching 100-level science courses for non-majors, such as Introduction to Astronomy, Galactic Astronomy, and Conceptual Physics. The primary responsibility for the second position will be teaching multiple sections of algebra-based General Physics I in the fall and General Physics II in the spring. Strong preference will be given to candidates capable of mentoring undergraduate research projects in astronomy, physics, or engineering. An M.S. or Ph.D. in Physics, Astronomy, or a related field is required for consideration.

Elon is a dynamic private, co-educational, comprehensive institution with a strong liberal arts core that is a national model for actively engaging faculty and students in teaching and learning.
