The Department of Physics at Lawrence University invites applications for a one-year appointment (with possible extension to a second year) as Visiting Assistant Professor of Physics to start 9/1/14.  Applicants must hold the Ph.D. degree in physics, astronomy, or a closely related field and must demonstrate genuine interest in working with undergraduates. We seek a conscientious teacher and a practicing physicist who will thrive in a four-year, liberal arts institution where close contact and collaboration with students are the norm. Prior teaching and/or postdoctoral experience preferred. Letters of application with detailed statements of teaching philosophy and experience and of research interests, and vitae should be uploaded to https://lawrencecareers.silkroad.com. In addition, interested applicants should have two letters of recommendation sent to search_physics@lawrence.edu. To guarantee consideration, submit materials by March 14. Evaluation of candidates will begin on that date and continue until the position is filled.
