Assistant Professor and Program Coordinator of Physics

Brevard College seeks an enthusiastic teacher to fill a tenure-track, nine-month faculty position as an Assistant Professor of Physics, who will also serve as Coordinator for the thriving Applied Physics Program, beginning in the fall of 2023. Candidates considered for this position will possess a terminal degree in a relevant field (e.g., a Ph.D. in Physics).

Successful candidates must be engaging teachers of Physics at all levels of the undergraduate curriculum, ranging from general education courses to upper-level courses for the Applied Physics Program. Teaching responsibilities include, but are not limited to, general Physics for science majors, Modern Physics, and upper-level courses in the field of the candidate’s expertise. The successful candidate will demonstrate a record of, or potential for, excellence in teaching and have experiential teaching skills. The standard teaching load is 12 credit hours/semester, and all faculty members actively contribute to program assessment, serve on committees, advise students, and participate in professional development and service to the College. Because the coordinator also recruits students to the program, we seek a dynamic and innovative leader.
