Faculty Position in Experimental Space Physics at Univ. of Alaska Fairbanks
The Geophysical Institute and the Physics Department at the University of Alaska Fairbanks seek applicants to fill a joint tenure-track position in experimental space physics and/or aeronomy. The position will carry significant responsibility for research at the Geophysical Institute (6.75 months plus 3 summer months) as a member of the Space Physics and Aeronomy Group and for teaching as a faculty member of the Physics Department (2.25 months; equivalent to one course per year).
The appointment is intended at the level of assistant professor. Appointments to higher rank may be considered for qualified candidates. The successful applicant will pursue externally funded research in upper atmospheric, ionospheric and/or magnetospheric physics, with particular emphasis on experimental and observational methods. The candidate will also display a strong interest in teaching at the graduate and undergraduate level. Preference will be given to candidates with experience in instrumentation on sounding rockets or satellites.
Other areas of research consistent with the interests of the Geophysical Institute's Space Physics and Aeronomy Group will also be considered during the evaluation, for example incoherent scatter radar experiments. Research facilities include an instrumentation laboratory, machine and electronic shops at the Geophysical Institute, and the Poker Flat Research Range with the Davis Science Center and one face of the NSF's Advanced Modular Incoherent Scatter Radar. Opportunities exist for collaboration with other groups within the Geophysical Institute, such as Atmospheric Sciences, as well as other units of the University, notably the School of Engineering and the Arctic Region Supercomputing Center.
