We especially seek candidates who are committed to inclusion, equity, and institutional change within and beyond STEM. By the start date for the position, candidates are expected to hold a Ph.D. in physics with emphasis in experimental physics, applied physics, material science, or related fields. We seek an excellent teacher-scholar who is committed to teaching, mentoring, and advising undergraduates within a residential, liberal-arts environment. The successful candidate will develop a research program in their specialty that engages undergraduates in hands-on experimental work. Candidates who can make use of Beloit College’s 0.5 MV Van de Graaff linear accelerator, machine shop, and Maker Lab in their teaching and/or scholarship are encouraged to apply. The candidate will contribute to all-college programs and serve in leadership roles in campus governance.
