The Physics Department and the Geophysical Institute of the University of
Alaska Fairbanks invite applications to fill one or more joint tenure-track
positions in physics and space physics. The successful applicant will become
a faculty member in the Physics Department of the College of Natural Science
and Mathematics and will join the Geophysical Institute as part of the Space
Physics and Aeronomy Group. Candidates should hold a PhD in Physics, Space
Physics, or a related area, some postdoctoral experience is preferred.
Expectations for this position include conducting research in space physics
and/or aeronomy, teaching courses in physics, and supporting the
University’s wider mission through service and outreach. The Physics
Department offers a full range of physics courses at both undergraduate and
graduate levels and the successful applicant is expected to teach across the
physics curriculum. The position is targeted at the assistant professor
level, although appointment at a higher rank would be considered for
suitably qualified candidates. Current research activities of the Space
Physics and Aeronomy Group include radio and optical observations of the
aurora, ionosphere, and upper atmosphere; observation, theory and
simulations of terrestrial and planetary magnetospheres; space plasma theory
and modeling; rocket experiments; radar technology; and analysis of ground-
and space-based observational datasets. Applications are invited from
researchers working on topics relevant to these areas, with experimental
and/or theoretical investigations of auroral phenomena and their impacts on
the ionosphere and upper atmosphere being of particular interest for this
position. 

This position will be open until filled. Review of applications will begin
June 1, 2016. A complete job description and application instructions can be
