Job Description: Sarah Lawrence College, a coeducational liberal arts college dedicated to individualized education, is recruiting up to two broadly-trained physicists for part-time guest positions for the 2021/22 academic year, beginning August 2021. We aim to find instructors to teach the two semesters of our algebra-based introductory physics seminar sequence with laboratory, as well as a one-semester intermediate seminar course covering classical and quantum waves (either in the fall or spring). Faculty candidates can apply for one or both of the proposed courses, and compensation will be proportional to the number of credits taught. Sarah Lawrence has plans to be fully in-person for the 2021/22 academic year and on-campus office space and access to the physics laboratory will be made available.
Application materials must include: a cover letter stating the course(s) the candidate would like to teach and relevant background, CV, statement of teaching philosophy, and the names and contact information for two references who can provide letters of recommendation (at least one of which must address the candidate’s teaching ability). The deadline for the first consideration of applications is May 16, 2021; the position will remain open until filled.
Required Qualifications: Successful candidates will have a Ph.D. in Physics (or have completed all the requirements for their degree but the dissertation by August 2021) and exhibit the interest and ability in working closely with students on an individual basis.
Preferred Qualifications: Prior undergraduate teaching experience is preferred.
EEO Statement: Sarah Lawrence College is an Equal Opportunity Employer and has as one of its goals the recruitment and retention of a racially and culturally diverse administration, staff and faculty. To that end, every job opening is seen as an opportunity to increase diversity and every effort will be made to expand the applicant pool in accordance with these goals.
The college is located in southern Westchester County, 25 minutes by train from midtown Manhattan, NYC. For further information on Sarah Lawrence College, our curriculum, teaching methods, and philosophy of education, please see our web site at https://www.sarahlawrence.edu/
