Location: College of Natural and Applied Sciences/Division of Natural Sciences.
The
Division of Natural Sciences is looking for an
individual strongly interested in undergraduate teaching with
flexibility to teach both introductory courses and upper-division
courses in
physics. This position requires experience with student-centered syllabi
and learning outcomes; experience with and/or interest in field
research in the tropics; and flexibility in coping with island
challenges.
Character of Duties: This is primarily a teaching
position but the successful applicant will also be expected to conduct
research of regional relevance. Teaching duties are primarily to meet
the physics requirements of UOG Biology, Chemistry, and Civil
Engineering majors. Applicants are encouraged to review the catalog
(available
online) to see what courses are currently offered. The faculty member
will be expected to teach students of varying backgrounds, conduct
research, and help seek outside funding for building research capacity.

or foreign equivalent; demonstrated excellence in teaching; record
of research publication in refereed journals.
Preferred: Demonstrated teaching in both biological and physical sciences.
