Haverford College expects to fill a tenure-line position in
experimental physics for the academic year of 2014-15 at the Assistant
Professor level. A more advanced appointment may be considered under
exceptional circumstances. We require a candidate with primary
interests that lie outside astronomy and biophysics, although applicants
who use astrophysical data to explore particle physics will be
considered. The successful candidate should be able to teach courses to a
diverse student body across the undergraduate physics curriculum,
including advanced laboratory courses. A PhD in physics, or a closely
related field, and at least two years’ postdoctoral experience (as of
June 2014) is required.
Haverford is a selective
college with motivated students and a commitment to both quality
instruction and significant scholarship. Our Department of Physics and
Astronomy has six faculty members with active research programs in
theoretical quantum information, computational astrophysics,
observational cosmology, extragalactic astronomy, biological physics,
and nanoscience. The successful candidate should establish a research
program that can involve and attract undergraduate students and can
attract outside funding. Our location in the western suburbs of
Philadelphia allows for convenient interactions with colleagues at other
institutions.
Applicants should submit a c.v.,
research statement and teaching statement, and arrange to have three
letters of recommendation submitted via Interfolio at
https://secure.interfolio.com/apply/22063, or sent via email to Corrinne
Fahl, Faculty Dossier Coordinator, Haverford College, 370 Lancaster
