Claremont, United States Claremont McKenna College Full time

The Kravis Department of Integrated Sciences (KDIS) at Claremont McKenna College (CMC) invites applications for a tenure-track position in Physics at the rank of assistant or associate professor. We seek candidates whose research uses computational approaches to advance our understanding of the earth system and/or the energy sector, including climate physics, physical geology, environmental geophysics, energy efficiency, conversion, and storage, and closely related fields. 

The position will begin on July 1, 2025. The successful candidate is expected to have completed a PhD and postdoctoral training by the start date for this position. Candidates should also have experience teaching and/or mentoring undergraduate students.

KDIS will offer an innovative and transformational undergraduate science program organized around three challenges: our Planet (Climate, Energy, and the Environment), Health (Genomics, Systems Biology, and Health), and Brain (Brain, Learning, and Decision Sciences). The KDIS faculty will have a key role in developing and implementing a program that will serve as an incubator for new approaches and foster a culture of inclusion, creativity, and continuous improvement. The department will be housed in the Robert Day Sciences Center opening in Summer 2025.

The candidate must demonstrate potential for establishing an active research program that involves undergraduate students, as evidenced by a track record of high-quality scholarship and a research statement that outlines a clear plan for their research effort at CMC. The candidate must also demonstrate potential for excellence in teaching through a thoughtful teaching statement and supporting evidence from prior teaching experiences.

The teaching load at CMC is two courses per semester. The candidate will help develop and teach a two-semester foundational physics curriculum that will be taken by all Integrated Sciences majors and will include integration with the foundational curriculum in biology, chemistry, and computation. Additional teaching may include a natural science general education course taken by all CMC students and/or upper-division electives in the candidate’s area of expertise in support of the theme of our Planet.

Given the College’s commitment to cultivating an inclusive educational environment, we seek candidates who can demonstrate a commitment to teaching, mentoring, and inspiring students representing a broad range of socioeconomic backgrounds, political opinions, genders, races, ethnicities, nationalities, sexual orientations, and religions. Moreover, as part of its commitment to The Open Academy, the College values freedom of expression, viewpoint diversity, and constructive dialogue.

Applications should include a cover letter; curriculum vitae; research statement; teaching statement; evidence of teaching effectiveness; and links to recent publications from their CV. Given the Department’s commitment to supporting students, faculty, and staff from diverse backgrounds, to promoting equity, and to fostering a culture of inclusion, applicants should discuss how they can contribute to these core values in their teaching, research, and/or an optional additional statement regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion, citing specific prior experiences where applicable.

Applicants must also submit the names and e-mail addresses of three references who would be willing to submit a confidential recommendation letter. Candidates will be notified before references are requested from letter writers.

Complete applications, including letters of recommendation, will be reviewed beginning October 15, 2024. Review of complete applications will continue until the position is filled. Preliminary interviews will be conducted by video meeting.
