The Department of Sciences
represents an interdisciplinary collaboration between faculty in
Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. The department invites qualified
applicants for a full-time position of Assistant Professor, starting
fall of 2016, with expertise in the field of Physics. The successful
candidate will demonstrate a commitment to education and the ability to
instruct calculus-based Physics courses at the undergraduate level
along with specialized topics as needed. While our primary mission is
teaching, the candidate is also expected to engage in scholarly work
and service to the institute. We seek a colleague who will actively
participate in our efforts toward externally collaborative,
project-based learning, while contributing to the expansion of our
programs and offerings. Involvement in research projects is a key
element
of our popular Physics minor. As such, preference will be given to
candidates who can demonstrate the ability to incorporate undergraduates
into their research program.
Wentworth seeks to increase the diverse perspectives of its faculty and encourages applications
from members of underrepresented groups in STEM.
Requirements: Comprehensive knowledge of theories, concepts
and practices and ability to use in complex, difficult and/or unprecedented situations.
