TWO FT Instructors, Tennessee Tech

 https://jobs.aapt.org/jobs/19930786/two-instructors-of-physics

The Department of Physics at Tennessee Tech University invites applications for two full-time, one-year, non-tenure track Instructor positions to begin August 2024. Appointees will teach introductory calculus- and algebra-based physics courses, including lectures, laboratories, and integrated studio-style classes. This would be a good opportunity for recent graduates and postdocs interested in academic positions to gain some experience with evidence-based teaching strategies.  Opportunities for research may be possible. The department also anticipates searching for at least one longer term appointment in the near future, for which successful candidates may be eligible to apply. A masters degree in physics or a related area is required; a Ph.D. is preferred. For more information, contact the Department Chair, Dr. Steve Robinson (sjrobinson@tntech.edu).  Tennesssee Tech is in Cookeville, TN located halfway between Nashville and Knoxville and approximately 90 miles from Oak Ridge National Lab.  Further information about the department is available at https://www.tntech.edu/cas/physics/index.php

Applicants are asked to apply online at www.tntech.edu/jobs and will be required to electronically upload a cover letter (including description of any prior teaching experience), a curriculum vitae, copies of undergraduate and graduate transcripts (official transcripts of all degrees conferred required upon hire), and names and email addresses for one or more professional references who will be contacted via email. These positions are open until filled, but to ensure full consideration, all materials must be received by April 26, 2024. AA/EEO
