Oregon State University is a public R1 research university and the largest university in the state of Oregon, with an enrollment of over 36,000 students and a sponsored-project research budget of over 420 million dollars per year. OSU is located in the city of Corvallis, which is ranked as one of the best small college towns in the US. The city offers year-round cultural and outdoor activities, as well as easy access to the Cascade mountains, the Pacific coast, the Portland metro area, and many other communities and college towns throughout the Willamette Valley.

The Department of Physics at Oregon State University invites applications for a full-time instructor position. The successful candidate will teach regular undergraduate courses in either algebra-based or calculus-based General Physics courses, offered either on campus or via Ecampus, as assigned by the Department Head. While this is not a tenure-track position, it is expected to be an ongoing position with opportunity for promotion to senior instructor ranks.

The Department is home to over 20 tenure-line and instructional faculty members, 45 graduate students and 140 undergraduate majors, with research programs in astrophysics, biophysics, condensed matter physics, high energy physics, optical physics, physics education, and quantum cosmology. We are seeking a candidate to advance our introductory physics courses, with a focus on innovation and excellence in both on-campus and online teaching environments.

To ensure full consideration, applications must be received by January 27, 2025. Applications will continue to be accepted after the full consideration date, until a sufficient applicant pool has been achieved or the position is filled.
