Position and areas of interest

We are interested in applicants with background in astrophysics, astronomy, cosmology, geophysics or, more generally, geosciences. We may also consider a particle physicist or a plasma physicist with long-term involvement in outside projects potentially accessible to students. A strong preference is for applicants with an experimental and / or observational background, plus knowledge of computational methods and, ideally, computer simulations of physical systems.

• Join a department of three full-time tenured / tenure-track faculty with a range of expertise and a collaborative culture.
• Demonstrate a strong commitment to teaching with a clear ongoing program of research.
• Teach a typical load of 9-11 teaching credits per semester (lecture-only courses = 3 credits; courses with labs = 5 credits).
• Involve students in research and assist them in obtaining internships, including participation in the S.U.R.E. Program.
• Contribute to the use and further development of on-campus facilities, including the astronomical observatory and solar observatory initiatives.
