<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Calibri;">The Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences (EAPS), within the College of Science at Purdue University, invites applications for one or more tenure-track faculty positions in planetary
atmospheres and/or planetary physics. These appointments will be at the level of Assistant or Associate Professor. Growth in planetary science is part of large-scale interdisciplinary hiring effort across key strategic areas in the College of Science. This
position comes at a time when the College is under new leadership and with multiple commitments of significant investment. </p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Calibri;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Calibri;">Candidates should be able to develop a vigorous, externally funded, internationally recognized theoretical, experimental, and/or observational research program that addresses research questions
of fundamental importance. Possible areas of study in planetary atmospheres could include observing and/or modeling of the atmospheres of jovian, terrestrial, exosolar planets or small bodies, and/or the origin of life and habitability. Possible areas of study
in planetary physics could include computer modeling of impact processes, planetary origins, or planetary interiors. </p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Calibri;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin: 0px; font-size: 11px; font-family: Calibri;">Candidates are expected to develop a program that is complementary to existing research within the department and teaching needs at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The potential to develop
interdisciplinary, collaborative research that cuts across specialty areas within the department, the College of Science, and Purdue’s research community is desirable. Candidates must have completed their Ph.D. in Planetary Sciences or related field at the
time of employment. Within EAPS and Purdue, candidates will find supportive colleagues, a diverse and vibrant academic community, with ample opportunities for professional and personal growth. </p>
