The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Arizona State University
invites
applications for a Lecturer position.

Candidates are required to have an earned doctorate in physics or
closely
related discipline by time of appointment. Candidates must also have an
outstanding record in teaching a broad selection of lower division
undergraduate physics courses at the college or university level,
especially
experience teaching introductory algebra-based and calculus based
physics
courses.


Just a note.

By requiring a PhD recipient for this position you are prohibiting a
large number of candidates who can do a vastly more superior job from
applying. It is common knowledge that PhD recipients are not always
qualified to deliver classroom instruction. As you may already know,
they are actually prohibited and discouraged from doing so while
earning their doctorate. When will the university community acknowledge
this?

Priority will be given to candidates who demonstrate they have
achieved an
outstanding teaching record for introductory physics courses in a
public
university program. A demonstrated ability to teach upper-division
physics
courses and/or introductory physical science courses is desirable.

Not to sound arrogant, but I could do this job hands down better than
any PhD ever could. Yet, I'm automatically disqualified from even
applying. It's only the student who suffer and we all know that.

Cheers,
Joe Heafner -- Astronomy/Physics Instructor
