VAP at St. Lawrence U, NY

St. Lawrence University invites applications for a visiting position (potentially renewable for a second year) at the assistant professor level to begin August 2014.  We have a strong preference for a person with a Ph.D. in an area of experimental physics (ABD candidates may be considered).  A background in environmental or energy physics is preferred but not essential.  The successful candidate will teach introductory college physics, a course in mathematical methods of physics and other courses in the physics curriculum as appropriate, including introductory labs.  Applicants should have a deep commitment to undergraduate education in a liberal arts environment.  In return, we are committed to helping our junior faculty members develop effective teaching skills.

Interested candidates should submit a letter of application, curriculum vitae, and arrange to have three letters of recommendation sent to Dr. Catherine Jahncke, Search Committee Chair, Physics Department, St. Lawrence University, Canton, NY 13617.  In addition we request a statement of teaching philosophy and a description of research interests.  Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until the position is filled.
