    Description

    The Stanford Physics Department invites applications for a Lecturer position to begin in Summer or Autumn quarter 2026. This position is a full-time, twelve-month, benefits-eligible, teaching position. The initial appointment is for a term of 2 years with possible reappointment after that. A Ph.D. or equivalent is required.

    The primary role of the Lecturer is to teach introductory physics courses, possibly in partnership with another instructor. Duties will include working closely with members of the department and the Center for Teaching and Learning in optimizing the pedagogy, curriculum, and sequencing of the introductory physics courses and laboratories.

In addition to instruction, the Lecturer will be responsible for helping to manage the introductory physics courses, including mentoring and managing the introductory physics teaching assistants, supporting faculty new to teaching these courses, helping with other aspects of the physics education program, and participating in Department committees, as appropriate. The Lecturer will contribute to continuous improvement of these courses and monitoring the outcomes.

    Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and statement of teaching philosophy and experience (three pages maximum) and arrange for the submission of three letters of recommendation addressing their teaching and administrative experience and abilities. In the statement, please discuss your teaching practices and experience and how they prepare you to take on the responsibilities described above, including how you promote an inclusive and equitable learning environment, and how you would measure the success of your teaching efforts.
