VAP at Dickinson College PA

https://jobs.dickinson.edu

The Department of Physics and Astronomy of Dickinson College invites applications for a one-year sabbatical replacement position beginning July 2014. Dickinson is a highly selective four-year liberal arts college with an active and innovative science program. The Department is housed in a state-of-the-art building, equipped with smart classrooms, research labs, a planetarium, and observatory.

The physics major features a project-centered, hands-on curriculum beginning with the internationally-known Workshop Physics, an activity-based introductory course developed here at Dickinson. The Department graduates approximately ten majors per year, one-third of whom are women.

Applicants must have a Ph.D. in physics or astronomy and will be expected to teach primarily introductory courses for non-majors, with the possibility of also teaching an upper-level physics course. Ideally, applicants will be able to engage undergraduate majors in research.

Applicants must create a profile at https://jobs.dickinson.edu. Please upload your cover letter, a CV and a statement of your teaching and research interests. Once you have completed the online application process and received your confirmation number, your reference letter writers will receive an e-mail to submit their letters.

We will begin reviewing applications by February 7, 2014 but applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
