TT at US Naval Academy, Annapolis MD

https://www.usna.edu/HRO/jobinfo/AsstProfPhysics2015.php

Assistant Professor of Physics

LOCATION:	United States Naval Academy, Physics Department
DATE CLOSES:	Application review will begin on October 1, 2015 and will continue until the positions are filled.
ABOUT THE U.S. NAVAL ACADEMY:	The United States Naval Academy is a unique institution of higher learning located in desirable Annapolis, Maryland.  As an historic officer accession program and premier undergraduate university, the United States Naval Academy has its own distinctive niche amongst American educational institutions. Our talented civilian faculty and staff are united by one common purpose--to develop the next generation of leaders for our naval service. In order to deliver on this promise to our nation, we recruit from all segments of society to find faculty, instructors, and support staff who model the highest professional standards. Every year more than one million people tour "the Yard" to experience what our employees already know — the United States Naval Academy is a special place, with a special purpose. Those selected for employment will find challenging and rewarding work; state-of-the-art facilities which inspire academic and athletic excellence; the benefits of Federal employment; and exceptional quality-of-life.
POSITION DESCRIPTION:	The Naval Academy’s Physics Department invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in physics. We are looking to fill two positions. Appointments at all ranks will be considered, but the preference is for junior faculty at the rank of Assistant Professor. These positions may begin as early as the Fall of 2016.  Our highest priority in conducting a search is finding promising candidates who are interested in developing as teachers in a small-classroom highly-interactive environment as they continue to develop as researchers in their field of expertise. Teaching is in the context of small classes (class sizes of 24 students or less), with two classes a semester being typical for faculty with a strong research program.  We do not have a graduate program here, and thus no TA’s either, so faculty members are fully responsible for their classes.  Summer school is taught typically by military officers and so the summer months see the balance shift to entirely being research driven for civilian faculty.  During the school year, civilian faculty members strive to find an appropriate balance between teaching and research. In addition to showing signs of being able to establish and carry forward a research program that results in peer-reviewed publications, it is particularly attractive if your research program provides opportunities for upper-class majors to be involved.  We have a diversity of experimentalists and theorists (both formal and computational) in our department, and we encourage candidates to think about possible collaborative efforts within our department.  Feel free to explore our department webpages for further information, www.usna.edu/PhysicsDepartment.
MINIMUM AND PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS:	Minimum: A Ph.D. in Physics or another closely related field is required (anticipated completion of Ph.D no later than July 2016 is acceptable). Preferred: Preference will be given to candidates who strongly exhibit a number of the following at a level that is appropriate for their current stage along their career path. Commitment to undergraduate teaching including introductory calculus based physics Experience teaching at the undergraduate level Knowledge and interest in employing active learning in the classroom environment A demonstrated superior teaching ability during the onsite interview A superior record of research and scholarship in peer review journals A plan to conduct research at the Academy with aspects that could involve midshipmen participation Ability to collaborate with our current faculty, or strong local area research connection that they plan on continuing, and/or a strong record of independent research A demonstrated mastery of their subject during a research talk and in faculty discussions during the onsite interview Specialization in the condensed matter area of dielectric/electrical properties of materials due to the availability of fully developed in-house labs in this field. Desire and ability to take ownership of senior level courses that support our major’s program.  In the context of the current make-up of our department, we may be particularly interested in candidates that could fill this role in the context of nuclear physics, acoustics, or astrophysics. Superior success in a Post-Doctoral appointment A demonstrated ability to thrive in a collaborative, collegial environment All Civilian Faculty Positions at USNA are subject to a background investigation.  These investigations are conducted to ensure that individuals hired are trustworthy, of good conduct, and reliable. More information about the background investigation process can be found at the Academic Dean and Provost’s website here http://www.usna.edu/Academics/Faculty-Information/Background-Investigation-Info.php.
HOW TO APPLY FOR POSITION:	We encourage candidates from all fields who feel they may resonate with the structure and philosophy outlined above to apply.  Applications in the form of a cover letter, a CV including professional experience relevant to the position, graduate and undergraduate transcripts (unofficial transcripts are fine), the names of three references (we will contact you at the point where we would like you to arrange for references to send their letters directly to us), a statement of teaching philosophy, a description of research plans (possibly including a brief characterization of what is required to establish your lab). These materials should be sent electronically, preferably as a single pdf, to the chair of the search committee, Professor Paul Mikulski, at search@usna.edu.  Applications will be reviewed beginning October 1, 2015 but the position will remain open until filled. Submit a Demographic Information on Applicants Form to godwin@usna.edu.  Your responses will not be shared with the panel rating the applications or to the official making the selection for this position.
