Job Description
The School of Engineering, Math & Computer Science at Elizabethtown College is looking to hire innovative faculty using evidenced-based teaching practices in support of our growing programs and increasingly diverse student body. We invite applicants for a non-tenure track Lecturer in Physics. The primary purpose of this faculty position is to offer physics and laboratory instruction and conduct associated activities (30-35 hours per week). The remaining 5-10 hours will be devoted to supervision of teaching assistants or tasks required to support the laboratory teaching being conducted within the department. The relative time spent teaching each semester will vary depending upon course offerings and student populations (from 12 to 15 contact hours weekly), with possible summer online teaching as needed for a total teaching load of 28-32 contact hours.

This is a full-time, 10-months per year position, starting August 1, 2023. The 10th month of employment may be spread out to accommodate the teaching of a summer online course.

The School of Engineering, Math and Computer Science is dedicated to advancing excellence and supporting opportunities for underrepresented students, faculty, and staff and was recently recognized with an ASEE Bronze Level Diversity Recognition award. We are especially interested in candidates that will contribute to this mission.
