Kim B & Stephen E Bepler Chair in Physics

The Department of Physics and Engineering Physics at Fordham University invites applications for the Kim B. and Stephen E. Bepler Chair in Physics starting in the Fall of 2019.  Due to the nature of the Bepler Chair in Physics (fordham.edu/beplerchairs), Fordham University will consider Associate and Full professors, as well as exceptionally qualified Assistant Professors.  We will consider candidates in all areas of Physics but especially those with backgrounds in Astronomy and Astrophysics.  We are most interested in those candidates who can enhance the diversity of our faculty and curriculum.

Candidates must have a Ph. D. degree in Physics or Astronomy with postdoctoral experience, as well as strong evidence of an established research program.  The applicant must also be able to teach a variety of courses in Physics and Astronomy at the undergraduate level.  Preference will be given to those candidates with teaching experience and the potential to engage undergraduates in research.  Our location in New York City provides many opportunities for collaborative research.   Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, a brief plan of research and a statement of teaching philosophy.  The candidate should also arrange to have three letters of recommendation submitted.  All materials must be submitted to http://apply.interfolio.com/56701 by November 16, 2018.
