Job description

Description
The Department of Physics at Lafayette College invites applications for an 18-month Visiting Assistant Professor position, beginning in January, 2027.
We are seeking candidates with a demonstrated enthusiasm for undergraduate teaching. The successful candidate should be able to teach physics effectively in classroom and laboratory environments. Candidates will teach the equivalent of three courses per semester, with a laboratory section counting as half a course. We especially welcome applicants who can contribute to Lafayette's commitment to creating a vibrant, diverse, and inclusive community.
Located in the Lehigh Valley in eastern Pennsylvania, 70 miles from both New York City and Philadelphia, Lafayette College is a small, private, undergraduate-only liberal arts and engineering institution with significant resources to support faculty members in their teaching and scholarship. The College is committed to fostering a learning community grounded in mutual respect, collaboration, and intellectual engagement. In keeping with its mission, Lafayette provides an educational environment that promotes critical inquiry, personal growth, and responsible citizenship. Faculty, students, and staff share responsibility for creating, maintaining, and developing a learning environment in which difference is valued, equity is sought, and inclusiveness is practiced. Lafayette is an equal opportunity employer and welcomes applicants from diverse backgrounds and experiences.
Qualifications
A completed Ph.D. in physics or a closely related field is preferred, but candidates near the end of their Ph.D. work will be considered. More information about the Lafayette Physics Department is available at http://physics.lafayette.edu or by writing to the Department Head, Zoe Boekelheide, at boekelhz@lafayette.edu.
Application Instructions
Please submit a letter of application, c.v., statement of teaching interests, and three letters of reference at https://apply.interfolio.com/192880. In your application, please address how your teaching, mentoring, and/or community service support Lafayette's mission and values, with specific reference to our commitments to creating a vibrant, diverse, and inclusive community. Review of applications will begin October 2, 2026 and will continue until the position is filled.
