Description
The University of Notre Dame is seeking physics educators to oversee and teach physics laboratories for life science students and engineering students, and participate in outreach programs. There are two positions to be filled. These are full-time, 12-month non-tenure track faculty positions. The starting rank will be Assistant Teaching Professor, though a higher rank may be appropriate given prior experience. Starting salary will be between $60-75,000, depending on rank and experience. The planned start date is August 2022.

The University of Notre Dame teaches calculus-based physics courses to approximately 550 life science/pre-health students and 800 engineering undergraduates each year. Both sequences are taught each fall and spring semester, as are their accompanying labs. A laboratory course is also taught during the summer session. The Laboratory Instructor will oversee the operation of lab sessions throughout the year. These duties include: working with the instructors of the lecture courses to ensure coordination of the lectures and the labs; maintaining and improving the lab manuals; overseeing, training and evaluating the graduate student teaching assistants assigned to teach each lab section; selecting and overseeing undergraduate teaching assistants; and giving presentations and supervising students during the lab meetings. It is also expected that the Laboratory Instructor will design new laboratories applying current physics laboratory pedagogy. The Laboratory Instruction Team is also responsible for organizing the demonstrations used in the physics department classrooms and for developing new demonstrations.

The Department is committed to diversifying its faculty and encourages applications from women and members of traditionally underrepresented groups.
