Requirements for the position include an earned doctorate (ABD candidates are also eligible to apply) in mathematics, physics or a closely related discipline, demonstrated commitment to undergraduate experiential education, and evidence of capacity to develop an independent program of scholarship. The ideal candidate will be able to teach both math and physics, but otherwise qualified candidates who can teach in one or the other discipline will also be considered.
