Are you passionate about teaching undergraduate physics in a supportive and collegial environment? The Department of Physics at the College of the Holy Cross, a highly regarded liberal arts college in Worcester, MA, is seeking two full-time Visiting Professors to join our department starting in Fall 2025.

We take pride in fostering a welcoming and collaborative atmosphere where faculty and students thrive together. As a visiting faculty member at Holy Cross, you'll teach small class sizes and benefit from strong faculty-student interactions, a hallmark of our department.

The position carries a 3-3 teaching load; however, the load will feel more like 3-2 or even 2-2 as some courses are 1.5-credit courses. The appointments are for the 2025-2026 academic year, with the possibility of renewal for a second year.

Holy Cross is an undergraduate-only liberal arts college, and our physics department consists of eight full-time faculty members and three dedicated support staff. While this position focuses on teaching, with no scholarship or service requirements, funds are available to support research that visiting faculty may wish to pursue.

Key highlights of the position:

  • Engaged and welcoming department with a commitment to faculty-student mentorship;
  • Small class sizes, emphasizing personal connections and interactive learning;
  • Collegial support for visiting faculty, fostering professional growth and collaboration;
  • Research funding available for visiting faculty who wish to maintain scholarly activity.

A Ph.D. in physics or a closely related field is required at the time of appointment, and we welcome applications from candidates with a strong enthusiasm for undergraduate teaching and mentorship.
