Saint Martin’s University, an independent university located in
western Washington, invites applications for a full-time, entry-level,
tenure-track position as Assistant Professor of Physics in the
Department of Natural Sciences, beginning August 2017. The area of
specialization is open; however, the successful applicant is expected to
teach introductory courses for science, engineering, and general
education students, laboratory sections as well as upper-division
courses to support the new physics minor. Physics faculty are also
expected to rotate their commitment by teaching a First Year Seminar
course each year. Interest in teaching computational physics and/or
astronomy topics is a plus. The successful candidate will be both an
active scholar and an excellent classroom instructor, able to teach a
broad range of courses under a 12-credit teaching load per
semester. Class enrollments range between 20 and 25 students, with
upper-level classes being smaller.
Strong commitment to
undergraduate teaching and research and a PhD are required, as is a
willingness to support the Catholic, Benedictine, liberal arts tradition
of Saint Martin’s University.
Candidates must have valid
documentation permitting them to work in the US from the date on which
the appointment at Saint Martin’s takes effect. The positions are
subject to budgetary approval.
The following items should be saved as a pdf and sent via email to Ms. Tiffany McDuffy, cas@stmartin.edu,
with subject line “Physics Search”: CV, statement of teaching
philosophy and research interests, copies of undergrad and graduate
transcripts, and names and contact information for three references.
References will be contacted once semi-final candidates have been
identified.

can be directed to Dr. Greg Milligan, Chair of the Search Committee at gmilligan@stmartin.edu or 360-438-4314. Review of applications will begin November 15th and the position will remain open until filled.
