Visiting Assistant Professor, Department of Physics, Wesleyan University
Wesleyan University’s Department of Physics invites applications for a one-course Visiting Assistant Professor beginning September 2021 for the fall term. A background in physics education research or experience with innovative teaching methods will be particularly welcome. The successful candidate will teach the equivalent of a modern physics course in two half-credit units: Special Relativity, followed by Introduction to Contemporary Physics. Wesleyan is a highly selective liberal arts college that values both scholarship and teaching very highly, has a strong, diverse undergraduate student body, and offers competitive salaries and benefits.
Candidates must have a Ph.D. in physics.
A complete application includes a cover letter, curriculum vitae containing a summary of teaching experience, and a brief statement of teaching interests. In the cover letter, applicants should describe how they will embrace the college’s commitment to fostering an inclusive community, as well as their experience working with individuals from historically marginalized or under-served groups. You will also be asked to provide the email addresses of three referees from whom we will obtain confidential letters of recommendation.
Applications completed by May 25, 2021 will receive full consideration.
Please contact Dana Gordon-Gannuscio at dgordongannu@wesleyan.edu email if you have questions about the application process. Visa sponsorship is not normally available.
