Job Description
The Lehigh University Physics Department invites applications for a Visiting Assistant Professor (VAP) to begin in summer 2024. The VAP will teach the equivalent of two courses each semester of the 2024-25 academic year. The classes may include introductory and upper level undergraduate astrophysics classes and undergraduate classes in physics. The VAP will also contribute to the scientific life of the department with participation in colloquiums, research group meetings, and other department activities. The salary will be in the range of $60,000 to $65,000, including full benefits.
Candidates from all fields of astrophysics and related areas of physics are encouraged to apply. We seek a candidate that has a commitment to an inclusive and collaborative academic community. Individuals from populations traditionally underrepresented and underserved in physics – women, persons of color, persons with disabilities, and persons of all gender identities and/or sexual orientations – are strongly encouraged to apply.
The candidate should have a PhD in physics or astronomy by August 2024.
