The Department of Physics, Astronomy, and Geosciences invites
applications for three full-time positions in physics and astronomy for
Academic Year 2013-2014 at the level of Lecturer. One of these
positions is a one year appointment, while the other provides the
opportunity for annual renewal. Lecturers are expected to teach 12
contact hours of undergraduate physics courses per semester. The primary
duty will be to teach lower level introductory physics courses, however
lecturers are also expected to contribute to the department goals in
some other capacity.
Candidates are expected to have recent
experience teaching introductory physics and strong communication
skills. A PhD in physics or a closely related discipline is preferred.
Experience in curriculum development, familiarity with current trends in
undergraduate physics education, and research interests compatible with
the department’s current research activities are desirable. Candidates
must be legally eligible to work in the United States beginning August
2013 and continuing through the duration of the appointment.
Opportunities for summer teaching may be available.
To apply, please submit: cover letter; CV; names of three references. Send via e-mail to David M. Schaefer at dschaefer@towson.edu . Review of applications will begin immediately; the search will remain open until the positions are filled.
