 We seek a candidate with a strong commitment to undergraduate teaching in a liberal arts environment, able to teach across the undergraduate physics curriculum. A doctorate (anticipated or completed) in physics or a related field is required.  The college has well equipped research facilities, and development of a research program that can include undergraduates is desirable, but not required.
