Solar Physics position at University of Colorado - due 1 June
The University of Colorado at Boulder is seeking a new faculty member in Solar and Space Physics under the aegis of the NSF "Faculty Development in Space Sciences" program solicitation. Appointment is expected at either the Assistant or Associate Professor level, depending on experience. The successful candidate will be rostered at the University's Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP), a large multidisciplinary research institution, and hold a tenure track appointment in one of several departments (including Astrophysical and Planetary Sciences, Physics, Aerospace Engineering, or Atmospheric and Ocean Sciences), depending on area of expertise. We are especially interested in candidates with research and teaching interests in experimental or theoretical solar physics, with an emphasis on the dynamics of "solar magnetism at all scales" that impact the Earth and the geospace environment. However, outstanding candidates in all areas of solar and space physics are encouraged to apply.
The University of Colorado and the surrounding research institutions are experiencing a new level of integration and interaction in solar and space physics. This position represents the capstone to this transformation. As such, the successful candidate can expect substantial support for postdoctoral, graduate and undergraduate fellows. In addition, the state-of-the-art engineering, computational, and laboratory facilities of LASP will be at the candidate's disposal. The appointee is expected to participate actively in an innovative program of graduate and undergraduate teaching that involves multiple departments on campus and institutions of the broader Boulder solar physics and space science community. The appointee will also be encouraged and actively supported to carry out a highly collaborative research program with colleagues from the University, the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and other entities in the Boulder community. Applicants should hold a Ph.D. and have extensive research and teaching experience.
Applicants for this position should submit (preferably in electronic form) a cover letter, a curriculum vita, a description of their research and teaching plans and experience, and the names of five references to:
