Note: The position is officially open field, but the department has two physics education researchers and several of us would like to add another PER or astronomy education research person. We have MS but not PhD students in the department, so interest in involving undergraduates in research is a plus.
The
Wright State University Department of Physics is seeking candidates for
a Physics Department tenure track faculty position starting in the Fall
of 2017. The position continues a successful, longstanding program
emphasizing productive growth in the department, with an additional
focus on increasing the numbers of undergraduate and postgraduate
students in the department. All areas of physics research, either adding
to or complementing existing experimental and theoretical research
areas, will be considered. Candidates that can enhance the recently
created Interdisciplinary Applied Sciences and Mathematics Ph.D. program
are especially valuable. A Ph.D. in physics or a closely related field
is required. Postdoctoral experience and success in obtaining external
funding are highly desirable, since physics faculty are expected to
establish an externally funded research program. A successful applicant
will be expected to contribute to the diversity and excellence of the
department, college, and university through research, effective teaching
at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and service. To apply,
submit a cover letter, vita, statements of research and teaching
interest, and a list of at least three references to https://jobs.wright.edu/postings/11180.
Review of applications will continue until the position is filled.
