The Physics Department at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (New Mexico Tech) invites applications for a full-time Instructor or Visiting Assistant Professor of Physics for the 2021-2022 academic year.

The expected teaching load is 3 courses per semester. A Ph.D. in physics or closely related field is preferred for this position, but an MS with evidence of expertise in teaching are also encouraged to apply. The ideal candidate would have active physics education research experience. We anticipate teaching needs primarily in introductory physics but upper division and even graduate courses may be negotiable, should there be a skills match.

The department has been recognized in several national and regional rankings, and NM Tech sends a higher fraction of its students on to graduate work than almost all other public institutions in the US. Our department has 12 full-time tenure-track faculty; we offer undergraduate specializations in atmospheric physics and astrophysics, as well as robust research and graduate degrees in those areas and in physics instrumentation.

NM Tech is a federally-designated Hispanic Serving Institution, and roughly 1/3 of the physics faculty and majors
are female. The department and campus is small and collegial with roughly 1,300 undergraduates and 500
graduate students in science and engineering.


For best consideration please apply by January 15, 2021.
Applicants should send a curriculum vitae and a summary of teaching experience/philosophy, and they should also arrange for three letters of recommendation to be submitted on their behalf.
Materials may be sent to nmtjobapps@npe.nmt.edu (c/o Rosa Jaramillo) and should also be copied to the search committee chair (Dr Richard Sonnenfeld; richard.sonnenfeld@nmt.edu).

Foradditional information please see the department's web page at http://www.nmt.edu/academics/physics, or contact the search committee chair.

NMT is committed to creating a community in which a diverse population can learn, live, and work in an atmosphere of tolerance, civility and respect for the rights and sensibilities of each individual. NMT is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

New Mexico Tech is located in Socorro, in the scenic Rio Grande River Valley of central New Mexico.  It is 75 miles south of Albuquerque with its many attractions, and 139 miles south of Santa Fe. Nearby mountains and desert canyons provides opportunities for excellent hiking, climbing, and mountain biking. The Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, located just south of Socorro along a major north-south flyway, offers some of the best birding in the USA. Socorro is a town of 9,000 people one hour south of Albuquerque. It provides low cost of living and surprising amenities for a town of its size. Some current faculty also commute from Belen, Los Lunas, and Albuquerque.

NOTES:

Additional Salary Information: Salary is Negotiable depending on the experience of the applicant and match to our needs. Excellent benefits (health, vision, dental), tuition fee waiver, and a generous retirement plan.
