We haven't worked out my exact schedule yet, but at least at first I think I'm going to be teaching general physics aimed at other science majors (calculus based), as well as a bunch of related labs. I may diversify a bit more for spring semester, but experience teaching introductory classes (and labs) will be important for my CV when I go to apply for tenure-track jobs later.
This position is officially for one year, but there is a very high probability of it continuing for a second year assuming that I don't seriously injure lots of students or something (I understand that funding for the position in the following year is already in place).
As for teaching in Claremont, yeah, it's something that I've thought would be cool, too; Kim and I were really excited when this job ad showed up (as well as a simultaneous ad at Pomona... but they were looking specifically for experimentalists). I would be most excited about teaching at Mudd, to be honest, but since they already have one string theorist from the University of Chicago on staff I suspect that they won't be hiring a second one any time soon. :) But as it stands, Joint Sciences is going to be fantastic; I'm really looking forward to it.
