https://physics.hmc.edu/announcement/97/ For full consideration, applications should be received by 4 November 2016
The Department of Physics of Harvey Mudd College, one of the
Claremont Colleges, has an opening for a tenure-track appointment at the
assistant professor level, beginning September 2017. The department (https://physics.hmc.edu/) has thirteen full-time members; we graduate between 20 and 30 physics majors each year.
We seek an experimental, theoretical, or computational physicist with
broad intellectual interests who can excel at teaching outstanding
undergraduates and who can establish an active research program
involving undergraduates. Current areas of research in the department
include biophysics, quantum and nonlinear optics, condensed matter
physics, soft matter physics, geophysics, semiconductor physics and the
environment, theoretical astrophysics and observational astronomy and
cosmology, string theory, general relativity, and theoretical particle
physics. Although we welcome applications from outstanding candidates
regardless of subfield, we are particularly interested in a candidate
who can develop a vibrant research program in AMO or condensed matter
physics.
For full consideration, applications should be received by 4 November 2016,
but applications will be accepted until the position is filled.
On-campus interviews will include both teaching an upper-division
physics class and presenting a research colloquium. Applicants should
apply online at https://AcademicJobsOnline.org/ajo,
where they should submit: (1) a curriculum vitæ; (2) a statement of
teaching experience and interests, as part of which applicants are
invited to comment on any experience with or demonstrated ability to
effectively teach students from diverse backgrounds; (3) a statement of
research interests that describes how undergraduates would be involved
in the proposed research; and (4) three letters of reference, at least
one of which addresses teaching ability or potential. Please address the
cover letter to Professor Theresa W. Lynn, Chair, Department of Physics, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA 91711.
