Haverford College invites applications for a tenure-track position in astronomy beginning September 2013. While we anticipate an appointment at the assistant professor level, exceptional candidates with more experience will also be considered. Candidates must have a strong commitment both to teaching and to establishing a vigorous research program that will involve a diverse group of undergraduates in astronomy. Ph.D. required; post-doctoral experience highly desirable. The successful applicant will teach astronomy at all levels, help support the observational component of our astronomy program, and contribute to the physics program. Applicants should submit a cover letter, CV, a statement of research plans, and a brief statement of teaching philosophy as a single pdf file, and also have three letters of recommendation sent to: Corrine Fahl, Faculty Dossier Coordinator, cfahl@haverford.edu. Questions to: Corrine Fahl or Dr. Beth Willman, (bwillman@haverford.edu). First priority will be given to applications received before November 15, 2012.
