The successful candidate will be expected to initiate a research program in an area of physics that will invite student participation in on-campus research and attract external funding. Startup funds are available. Teaching responsibilities include introductory and advanced physics courses for physics majors and non-majors. The Department consists of six tenured faculty and two full-time adjunct faculty, with research interests including experimental fluid dynamics, nuclear and particle theory, geophysics, high-pressure physics, stellar and galactic observational astronomy, complex dynamical systems, the interpretation of quantum mechanics, and computational physics. Completed applications must include a cover letter, curriculum vitae, statement of teaching philosophy, statement of research plans, three letters of recommendation, and a statement of how your work at Seattle University would contribute to our University mission (see www.seattleu.edu/home/about_seattle_university/mission/).
