Web Link: http://www.unbc.ca/physics/index.html
The University of Northern British Columbia is ranked as one of Canada’s best small universities with a core campus in Prince George and regional campuses throughout northern BC. The Physics Program currently offers a Physics BSc degree, joint degrees with Mathematics, Computer Science and Chemistry and an MSc degree. Physics is the study of nature at its most fundamental level. As such, it is the science upon which all other sciences and technologies are based. Because it is so basic, a major in physics is ideal preparation, not only for further study in physics, but also for advanced study in such diverse fields as biophysics, medicine, astrophysics, chemical physics, engineering, meteorology, and computer science. For more information on the Physics program please consult: http://www.unbc.ca/physics/index.html.
The University of Northern British Columbia, in conjunction with the Physics Program, invites applications for a term position at the rank of Instructor 1. You will teach five courses: Physics 115 (General Introduction to Physics) and Physics 100 (Introduction to Physics) in the Fall 2011 semester; and Physics 100 (Introduction to Physics I), Physics 101 (Introduction to Physics II), and Physics 200 (Thermal Physics) in the Winter 2012 semester.
The successful applicant must be able to teach physics at the university level, and must have a MSc or a higher degree, in physics or a closely related discipline. The candidate should also provide evidence of previous teaching experience at the college or university level.

The MIT-SUTD Collaboration is a part of a unique initiative to help start a new university in Singapore, the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD). As part of this project, MIT will be developing SUTD's curriculum and assisting SUTD with its implementation and delivery during its initial years. SUTD and MIT have also created a joint research center, the Singapore-MIT International Design Center, with dedicated facilities at both universities.
Reporting to Collaboration Director, the postdoctoral associate will be responsible for coordinating the creation and delivery of the overall university curriculum. As a key stakeholder within a highly collaborative team, the postdoctoral associate will have the overarching responsibility of coordinating the various stakeholders to ensure the integrity, timeliness, and excellence of the final product as well as provide critical input to the Collaboration Director on the latest thinking regarding curriculum development and instructional design in science and engineering. This is an ideal position for a postdoc with prior curriculum development and teaching experience. The postdoctoral associate should be cognizant of current thinking and trends in curriculum development and instructional design in science and engineering as well as experience in the implementation of findings from educational research into the development of curriculum and instruction in the classroom.
