TT at Goshen

The physics department of Goshen College invites applications for a tenure track faculty position starting in fall 2009. Responsibilities include teaching a variety of courses primarily in the physics major and some introductory mathematics and courses for non-science majors. There will also be opportunities to develop new interdisciplinary curricula. International Candidates Will Be Considered

Goshen College is a liberal arts institution of 1,000 students and is nationally ranked for its study abroad programs. From its relationship with the Mennonite Church, Goshen College has adopted five core values around which programs are built: 1) Christ-centered; 2) Passionate Learners; 3) Servant Leaders; 4) Compassionate Peacemakers; and (5) Global Citizens.

Requirements
A Ph.D. in physics or a related field is required. The successful candidate will be expected to initiate and carry out a research program involving undergraduates. This could build on existing research areas in x-ray diffraction, biophysics, and acoustics, or it could be a new area. The department is seeking a candidate who can continue the tradition of excellent teaching coupled with a long history of undergraduate research.
