The five-member Department of Physics at Norwich University invites applications for a tenure-track position at the rank of Assistant Professor, beginning in Fall of 2020. The candidate will be expected to engage in teaching, research and service; the most important qualification is potential for excellence in teaching. The successful applicant will be given the opportunity to teach courses throughout our curriculum, from general education through upper-division major courses. Standard teaching loads alternate between 9 to 12 contact hours each semester for a total of 21 contact hours per academic year.
Faculty are also expected to develop a research program appropriate for involving undergraduates, and modest internal funding is available to support students and professional development. The University also has an active office of Academic Research that helps faculty to seek external funding.
