Position Summary

The Physics Program in the College of Engineering & Science at the University of Detroit Mercy invites candidates to apply for a full-time tenure track faculty position at the assistant or associate level starting August 16, 2024. University of Detroit Mercy is dedicated to the goal of building a supportive, diverse and inclusive academic community, with a commitment to experiential and community engaged learning. Our excellent student outcomes led to recognition by the Wall Street Journal Best Colleges report, ranking UDM 2nd in Michigan and 52nd nationally. We strongly encourage applications from candidates who can contribute to the Mission of the University and its commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion through their teaching, research, experience, and service.

As a primarily undergraduate institution (PUI), Detroit Mercy offers small classes and close collegial relationships. Faculty in the College of Engineering & Science form a dynamic community of teaching scholars, with a strong focus on student-centered teaching, and academic mentorship of students. We are particularly interested in candidates who will contribute to our efforts to provide support and opportunities for historically minoritized students majoring in science and engineering disciplines. The Physics program is an integral part of the College's National Institutes of Health's BUILD & U-RISE grants that support these efforts.

The Physics program at Detroit Mercy is a vibrant program whose faculty teach courses required for students majoring in science and engineering disciplines, as well as for the university core curriculum; engage in interdisciplinary and collaborative teaching and research; and mentor students within the College of Engineering and Science. Physics faculty have opportunities to collaborate with faculty in other disciplines and at partner institutions through the BUILD and U-RISE grants, and other exciting initiatives.

A successful candidate would be one that has a strong interest in implementing best practices in teaching pedagogy including evidence-based teaching and assessment strategies. In addition, we seek an educator who is an enthusiastic teacher-scholar committed to supporting a diverse population of students and who can inspire and educate future scientists and engineers".

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

Teaching responsibilities will include introductory physics lectures and laboratory courses, as well as other courses, based on the faculty member's area of expertise and on the need to complement or expand current offerings in the program.

The candidate should have a proposed research agenda appropriate for a primarily undergraduate institution. Candidates are expected to demonstrate the ability and interest to pursue external funding and to disseminate results in peer-reviewed publications and conferences. Commitment to pedagogical research is encouraged.
