TT at Earlham College
Earlham College anticipates hiring a full-time, tenure-track position in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the rank of Assistant Professor beginning in Fall 2014.
Earlham is a liberal arts college of about 1200 students and is affiliated with the Society of Friends (Quakers); approximately 11% of the students are Quakers. We try to combine the finest liberal arts education with an environment shaped by historic Quaker commitments.
Our learning community is characterized by respect for every person, a commitment to social concerns and peacemaking, and a dedication to the integration of intellectual, emotional, moral, and spiritual growth of all members of the community. Global awareness and respect for cultural diversity are strongly emphasized. The College is selective and financially strong. Its student body comes from across the nation and the world; although most students are from the eastern and Midwestern states, approximately 15% of the student body is international, coming from 68 nations in 2007.
Primary Duties and Responsibilities
The Physics Department requires a candidate with a passion for Astronomy. Teaching load typically includes a Descriptive Astronomy course each semester, an upper-level Astronomy course every other year, and a mix of introductory and upper-level Physics.
In addition to teaching, the successful candidate will develop a research program that can attract and involve undergraduate students. Our department has three FTEs with active research programs in computational biophysics and laser, atomic and optical science. Earlham's facilities include local cluster computing resources, a teaching observatory, and a natural history museum with a planetarium.
Experience and Qualifications
Preference will go to applicants who have completed (or are presently finalizing a dissertation for) a Ph.D. in Astronomy, Astrophysics, Physics or a closely related field. Earlham holds excellence in teaching as its most important criterion, so as we review applications we will be looking for evidence of a strong interest in teaching at the undergraduate level.
Earlham is willing to allow faculty to step outside their original academic fields. This has taken the form of interdepartmental courses and colloquia, leadership of off-campus programs, oversight of student activities, and support for faculty as they explore new directions for their research and teaching.
Application Instructions
Candidates should send applications as a single PDF including: cover letter that addresses your interests, qualifications, and experience; curriculum vitae; statement of teaching philosophy; research statement; undergraduate and graduate transcripts. Three letters of recommendation should be sent separately.
Materials should be sent to:

Graduate Assistantship at Ohio State University
Department of Teaching and Learning (Department of T&L), The Ohio State University (OSU)
We are seeking a doctoral student in science education as a graduate research assistant on a National Science Foundation-sponsored project. This project is aimed at investigating fundamental aspects of solving synthesis physics problems that require a joint application of multiple concepts. Our project team will seek to explicate potential bottlenecks of students’ solving synthesis problems, identify and understand expert approaches to synthesis problems, and develop effective pedagogical strategies to improve student skills in solving these problems.
The graduate assistant will be funded for 2 years through the NSF grant, and additional 2 years of teaching/research assistantship are also available through the Department of T&L at OSU.
The assistantship will begin in summer or autumn of 2014. The graduate assistant will work closely with the project members from the Department of T&L and Department of Physics on carrying out experimental studies, data collection and analysis.
This position is a 9 month, ½ time assistantship (20 hours/week covering graduate stipends, tuitions and fees), starting in autumn 2014. A start date as early as the beginning of summer 2014 is possible. Funds are available for individuals who wish to start early.
Requirements: admission to the Ph.D. program in the Department of T&L at OSU. Procedures and requirements of application can be found at: http://ehe.osu.edu/teaching-and-learning/academics/phd/ Deadline for application is Nov. 15, 2013. Interested individuals can contact Prof. Lin Ding (ding.65@osu.edu) for more details.
Preferred qualifications: strong disciplinary background in physics or closely related areas; strong interest and experience in physics education research and/or problem solving; strong interpersonal and communicative skills, and a high sense of responsibility.
The Department of T&L at OSU provides rich social context for building knowledge about theories and practices of inquiry, for making explicit the kinds of thinking and analysis that contribute to the research process, and for the provision of interpersonal support for students' intellectual and personal growth.
