Pending final budgetary approval, the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Drake University invites applications to fill a tenure-track position at the Assistant Professor level in Physics beginning August 2015. The main responsibilities of the successful applicant are to effectively teach and develop undergraduate physics courses at both the introductory and upper levels, mentor and supervise capstone experiences, pursue external funding, and, together with other faculty, plan the enhancement of the department curriculum. The emphasis is on excellence of instruction but candidates must show promise of an active scholarship program capable of involving undergraduates. The specific research field is open but we prefer a scholar in experimental or computational condensed matter physics or a related subject such as materials science or atomic physics. The successful candidate will have a Ph.D. degree in physics or a closely related field. Post-doctoral experience is a plus. The candidate must be fluent in English and capable of effective written and oral communication. To apply, submit a letter of application, evidence of teaching effectiveness, a statement of research interests with a plan to involve undergraduates and a CV that includes names of three references. Deadline is December 15, 2014.
