The United States Coast Guard Academy (USCGA) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty member at the Assistant/Associate Professor level in the Department of Physics, with rank contingent on experience. Situated on the banks of the Thames River in New London, CT, USCGA is renowned for academic excellence and holistic leader development steeped in the Coast Guard’s Core Values of Honor, Respect, and Devotion to Duty. Graduates of the Coast Guard Academy receive a Bachelor of Science degree and commission as Ensign in the U.S. Coast Guard. These service-ready junior officers are assigned directly to positions of leadership in one of the most adventurous and rewarding organizations in the world.
We seek candidates with diverse backgrounds, a passion for mentoring and developing young leaders, and the capability to teach undergraduate physics and other environmental physics-related courses. Our new colleague will complement our existing team of faculty and staff and contribute synergies to our burgeoning environmental monitoring and environmental physics programs, in which we focus on remote sensing, climate change, and carbon free energy solutions.
Degree requirements: ABD or PhD in Physics, Environmental Physics or closely related field. ABD candidates must provide documentation with their application showing that they will complete the requirements for the PhD by July 22, 2022.
In addition to the minimum education requirements, competitive candidates should have experience teaching physics at the introductory level using equity-informed evidence-based pedagogy methods, should have demonstrated competence in creating and fostering a community of inclusion and diversity, and should have experience teaching and mentoring a diverse student population and historically marginalized populations including involvement in communities of practice focused on these issues. Highly competitive candidates should also have research experience which could be in environmental physics (remote sensing, climate modeling, energy alternatives, etc.) or other fields needed by the institution, a publication in peer-reviewed science journals, and full-time teaching experience of multiple courses. Communication and interpersonal skills are essential. Successful candidates should also demonstrate experience consistent with full commitment to the Coast Guard’s core values, honor, respect, and devotion to duty.
