Time for a Board Meeting of the Jonathan F. Reichert Foundation, an ambitious non-profit working to establish programs and grants for hands-on instructional laboratories in physics, beyond the first year of university https://jfreichertfoundation.org

In preparation for tomorrow’s celebration of Illinois Wesleyan’s annual “Nerd Shirt Day,” today I am wearing a shirt from the SPIE national organization, featuring a shark with “firkin’ lasers on its head!”

Please share these (4) job announcements at Illinois Wesleyan (a nice, small, undergraduate-only institution). We have (2) tenure-track openings in Physics and (2) tenure-track openings in Chemistry: https://www.iwu.edu/human-resources/job-openings/

Join us! Here's a link to the web page listing current jobs at IWU: https://www.iwu.edu/human-resources/job-openings/

#ITeachPhysics During this academic year, Illinois Wesleyan University is searching for TWO (yes, 2!) tenure-track Physics faculty members, who will begin their appointments in Fall, 2024. Bring a friend! https://www.iwu.edu/human-resources/job-openings/2023-24-assistant-professor-physics.html

We are still soliciting applications for the (2) tenure track positions! (The visiting positions for this Fall have now been filled.)

#ITeachPhysics Who should you nominate, to be recognized for contributions to our community? https://www.aapt.org/programs/awards/

#ITeachPhysics Help spread the word! We have approval to search for (2) tenure-line hires, and (2) visiting professors, for the Illinois Wesleyan Physics Department. It's a nice community to join! https://www.iwu.edu/human-resources/job-openings/

#ITeachPhysics AAPT Early Bird Rate ends in six days! Join us in Sacramento! (P.S., if you'd like take the train, the Amtrak station is a few blocks away from the conference hotels, which are the Sheraton Sacramento or Hyatt Regency Sacramento) https://www.aapt.org/Conferences/SM2023/registration_sm23.cfm

I highly recommend this community of physics lab instructors "Beyond the First Year" of university
