<p>Job Description:</p> <p>The Department of Physics, offering the B.S. in Physics, invites applications for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the field of physics, to begin Fall 2025. The successful candidate is expected to teach courses ranging from introductory physics (lectures and/or labs) to higher level physics courses (e.g. electromagnetism, statistical physics, quantum physics). In addition, the successful candidate will be required to teach some courses for the Department of Chemistry: upper-level Physical Chemistry I and II (every other year), and freshman level General Chemistry I and II (occasionally). The successful candidate will have the opportunity to engage in summer research involving students. Both Physicists and Chemists are encouraged to apply for this position.</p> <p>The Department of Physics has three permanent faculty positions and a full-time lecturer. Teaching load is 9 contact hours per week in one term and 12 in the other term. The departments typically graduate 2-4 physics majors per year. Department faculty members are generalists by necessity but have research areas of expertise that include experimental neutrino physics, astrophysics, theoretical high energy physics, astrobiology, and exoplanets.</p> <p>Faculty members are expected to maintain active research that includes undergraduates when appropriate (internal undergraduate research funding is available on a competitive basis). The Physics department houses shared laboratory space for research, including some computing and optical equipment, and has access to a machine shop supported by a technician. The Chemistry department also has a full suite of modern chemical instrumentation, including Agilent GC-MS, Agilent LC-MS, Shimadzu HPLC and UV-VIS, and Perkin Elmer IR.</p> <p>Tenure-track faculty receive competitive startup packages. Professional travel funding and competitive internal research and publication expense grants are available to all faculty.</p> <p>Requirements:</p> <p>A Ph.D. in physics and/or chemistry or a closely related field (ABD considered); a strong commitment to the education of undergraduates in the arts, sciences and engineering (prior teaching experience at the college level is preferred).</p> <p>Additional Information:</p> <p>Norwich University is an Equal Opportunity Employer and is committed to providing a positive education and work environment that recognizes and respects the dignity of all students, faculty and staff. Reasonable accommodations will be made for the known disability of an otherwise qualified applicant. Please contact the Office of Human Resources at nuhr@norwich.edu for assistance.</p> <p>Application Instructions:</p> <p>Please provide a cover letter; a CV; a summary of teaching experience and research interests; the names of three references; and a Norwich application.</p> <p>The search will remain open until the position is filled and all applications submitted before December 20th, 2024 will receive full consideration.</p> <p>The anticipated starting date for the appointment is July 1, 2025.</p> <p>URL: www.norwich.edu</p>
