three FTEs and active research programs in computational biophysics and
atomic, molecular and optical physics. Earlham's facilities include local
cluster computing resources, a teaching observatory, a natural history
museum with a planetarium, and dedicated laboratory space for new hires.

Successful candidates will teach in both Astronomy and Physics. The
Astronomy teaching load typically includes a Descriptive Astronomy course
each semester and an upper-level Astronomy course every other year. Physics
teaching responsibilities are shared throughout the department according to
need and faculty interest, and include a mix of introductory and
upper-level Physics courses as well as a mix of theoretical and laboratory
courses.

In addition to teaching, the successful candidate will develop a research
program that can attract and involve undergraduate students. Support for
developing an active undergraduate research agenda is provided through
start-up funds, travel funds, departmental support, regular access to the
College’s Summer Research funds and Faculty Development funds, and through
