The Department of Chemistry and Physics in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of New England invites applications for a full-time, non tenure-track faculty position in physics at the rank of Assistant Lecturer, starting in the 2020-21 academic year. The successful candidate will join a dynamic department offering programs in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Laboratory Sciences, as well as a minor in Biophysics.
The primary teaching responsibilities include a year-long general physics introductory sequence taught in a student-centered studio physics setting. The successful candidate may also teach advanced courses in biophysics or in their area(s) of specialization. The department teaches many life, health, and marine sciences majors and seeks to connect relevant biological content to a physics foundation of mechanics, electricity and magnetism, fluids and waves. The current studio physics instruction uses modeling physics instruction with activities adapted and implemented for an “Introductory Physics for the Life Sciences” approach. In addition to teaching, the successful candidate will participate in curriculum development; academic advising; program assessment; and service to the department, college and university.
A Master’s degree in Physics or a closely-related field is required by the time of appointment. Individuals with a Ph.D. in physics education research and/or experience or training in guided inquiry techniques, as well as experience teaching physics for life sciences students, are preferred. Applicants with backgrounds in either biophysics or medical physics are desirable. Successful candidates must demonstrate a commitment to excellence in undergraduate teaching.
Review of applications will begin December 9, 2019 and continue until the position is filled. To learn more about this position and/or to apply, please visit https://une.peopleadmin.com/postings/6580 .
