ANNOUNCEMENT:
Visiting Faculty Position at the University of Colorado Boulder
To meet these goals, the
appointment will be a three-year term position, and will be successively filled
by new visiting faculty every three years.
It offers the opportunity to bring expertise into the university
environment, engage in NSO/CU research collaborations, mentor students, and teach
in the classroom at both the undergraduate and graduate level. Additionally, the successful candidate will
participate in the Collaborative Graduate Education Program (CGEP), which aims
to use
telepresence technology to bring students and faculty from different campuses
together for research and classroom learning.
Outstanding candidates
in all areas of Solar Physics, including instrumentation, observation, theory
and modeling, are encouraged to apply.
Of particular interest are candidates with research interests in the
dynamics and magnetism of the solar atmosphere and interior, and the broader
scientific connections between these and Stellar Astrophysics or Space Physics.
The successful candidate will be expected to engage broadly with the Boulder
solar and space physics community, outlining their plans at the time of
application. We anticipate that the position may appeal to a range of
scientists: early career scientists eager to gain experience in research and
teaching or later career scientists interested in sharing their experiences
with students in the academic environment.
Appointment will range
from the Assistant Professor level to the untenured Associate Professor level,
depending on prior experience.
Applicants should hold a PhD and have research and teaching experience
commensurate with the appointment level.
The construction of the
DKIST and the relocation of the NSO headquarters to the Boulder campus provide
a unique opportunity in solar physics. The
DKIST will achieve unprecedented high-resolution observations of solar
photospheric and coronal magnetic fields, and the University of Colorado
Boulder and surrounding research institutions will provide a rich teaching and
research environment within which to embed NSO activities. The University of Colorado has made
significant investments in faculty lines and graduate and undergraduate student
fellowships to support these efforts, and within this context, the candidate
will be expected to pursue an innovative program of research and graduate and
undergraduate education.
Applicants should
submit a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and short descriptions of
their research and teaching interests and plans, and request that three letters
of reference be submitted on their behalf by the application consideration
date. The teaching statement should include both an assessment of which
courses in the APS curriculum that the candidate would be prepared and
interested in teaching both at the undergraduate and graduate level, and a
summary of possible research projects that the candidate is prepared to mentor.
These materials should be submitted electronically to: https://www.jobsatcu.com, posting #FO222.

Search Committee Chair, (303) 735-1038, mark.rast@lasp.colorado.edu. Review of the applications will begin 30 March 2015 and
