Note: The position is officially open field, but the department has two physics education researchers and several of us would like to add another PER or astronomy education research person. We have MS but not PhD students in the department, so interest in involving undergraduates in research is a plus.
The
Wright State University Department of Physics is seeking candidates for
a Physics Department tenure track faculty position starting in the Fall
of 2017. The position continues a successful, longstanding program
emphasizing productive growth in the department, with an additional
focus on increasing the numbers of undergraduate and postgraduate
students in the department. All areas of physics research, either adding
to or complementing existing experimental and theoretical research
areas, will be considered. Candidates that can enhance the recently
created Interdisciplinary Applied Sciences and Mathematics Ph.D. program
are especially valuable. A Ph.D. in physics or a closely related field
is required. Postdoctoral experience and success in obtaining external
funding are highly desirable, since physics faculty are expected to
establish an externally funded research program. A successful applicant
will be expected to contribute to the diversity and excellence of the
department, college, and university through research, effective teaching
at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and service. To apply,
submit a cover letter, vita, statements of research and teaching
interest, and a list of at least three references to https://jobs.wright.edu/postings/11180.

The department considers the mentoring of new faculty to be an important part of visiting appointments, and has a successful record in this regard.
The Physics Department has a nationally recognized program providing general-education courses in the liberal arts and service courses for majors in other science disciplines, as well as a comprehensive physics major. Gustavus graduates an average of 18 physics majors per year, of whom a very high percentage pursue graduate and professional degrees. The department is staffed by 6.0 FTE faculty, and is housed and well-equipped in the 64,000 square-foot Olin Hall of Physics, Mathematics, and Computer Science. More information about the department may be found at https://gustavus.edu/physics/.
Minimum Required Qualifications: We seek candidates who have an earned doctorate in physics (or a related field), but will consider candidates who have achieved ABD status. The successful candidate must have a record of successful physics teaching at the TA level or beyond, and be comfortable teaching with modern laboratory instructional equipment and software. A commitment to undergraduate teaching is essential.
Preferred Qualifications: We are interested in applicants who will complement our commitment to students and faculty from diverse cultural groups, and who will diversify the expertise and experiences represented in the department. Previous academic experience with diverse populations is highly desirable.
Major/Essential Functions: Primary responsibilities during the fall and spring semesters will include approximately 12 contact hours per week in lecture and laboratory courses at the introductory and upper level for various audiences. Additionally, the successful candidate will be expected to teach a course during our interim January term (a one-month experimental course). There will be some opportunities for visiting faculty to collaborate in undergraduate research in areas such as AMO, optics, acoustics, and other fields, although research activity is not an expectation of this position.
Application and Institution Information: Electronic application is required; email application materials as separate PDFs to physicssearch@gustavus.edu. The application materials must include a letter of application, curriculum vitae, evidence of teaching effectiveness, undergraduate and graduate-studies transcripts (scanned copies acceptable), and three confidential letters of professional recommendation (sent directly from the reference).
