The Department of Physics at Lawrence University invites applications for a two-year appointment as Visiting Assistant Professor of Physics to start 9/1/16 (pending funding).  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 sent to https://lawrencecareers.silkroad.com. In addition, interested applicants should have two letters of recommendation sent to physics_search@lawrence.edu. Evaluation of candidates will begin on April 4th and continue until the position is filled. Additional information about Lawrence and the Department may be found at http://www.lawrence.edu/dept/physics/. AA/EEO: Lawrence University encourages applications from members of groups underrepresented in the physics community. All candidates are encouraged to address in their letters of application the ways in which they could contribute to Lawrence’s institutional mission and commitment to diversity.
