Lecturer at University of North Carolina at Greensboro

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro's Department of Physics and Astronomy is rumored to be searching for a one-year full-time lecturer to fill in for a faculty member on leave during AY10-11, to start in Fall '11. This person would teach a full load of lectures and labs, but under the guidance of UNCG's PER faculty (Gerace and Beatty), who have been involved in these particular courses before.

The primary qualifications required will be competence to teach introductory-level physics, as evidenced by an appropriate degree, TA experience, etc.

Down the road (when budget crises abate somewhat) the department will be searching for multiple tenure-track faculty positions. So, this lectureship might possibly be a way for someone interested in PER to get their foot in the door (but they can't promise that one of these hoped-for positions would be soon, let alone in PER).
