Teach undergraduate physics courses across the curriculum, including introductory physics courses and associated laboratories for physics, engineering, health sciences, and other STEM disciplines. Design and deliver engaging, rigorous physics instruction using evidence-based pedagogical approaches, including active learning, inquiry-based instruction, problem-based learning, and hands-on experimentation. Participate in curriculum development and contribute to the ongoing evaluation and improvement of physics courses and laboratory offerings. Collaborate with faculty in physics, engineering, computing, mathematics, and other disciplines to strengthen interdisciplinary STEM education. Participate in departmental, school, college, and university service appropriate to a teaching-focused faculty appointment.

  Preferred Qualifications 

A Ph.D. in Physics, Physics Education or a closely related discipline. Substantial experience teaching introductory, calculus-based and/or algebra-based physics. Experience teaching and developing undergraduate physics laboratories. Demonstrated expertise in physics pedagogy or physics education, including active learning, inquiry-based learning, collaborative problem-solving, flipped or blended instruction, or other evidence-based approaches.

  Application Materials  To apply, please submit the following materials:  

A cover letter describing your interest in the position and how your background in physics teaching and education aligns with the responsibilities and qualifications of the position. A curriculum vitae. A statement of teaching philosophy.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
