[Bob Lysak]

School of Physics and Astronomy
Tenure-track Assistant Professor - Experimental Space Physics
University of Minnesota, Twin Cities

Position description
The School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Minnesota, Twin 
Cities, invites applications for a tenure-track position in Experimental 
Space Physics. The appointment is expected to be at the Assistant 
Professor level, with appointments at a more senior level considered.

The University of Minnesota has a space physics research group with a 
long history of participation in successful space-based experiments.  
The group includes theoreticians and experimenters who study particle 
acceleration and reconnection throughout the heliosphere.  Applications 
are encouraged from researchers working in any area related to space 
physics.  This includes not only the plasmas of the Sun, its 
heliosphere, and planetary magnetospheres, but also includes related 
topics such as the plasma physics of exoplanets and stars, or the 
interaction of space plasma with the upper layers of Earth’s 
atmosphere.  Members of the space physics group are also members of the 
Minnesota Institute for Astrophysics, offering abundant opportunity for 
collaborative research across many astrophysical areas.  The group also 
enjoys collaborations with the Department of Aerospace Engineering on 
space-based instrumentation projects.

Qualifications
Candidates are expected to hold a Ph.D. in physics or astrophysics and 
should have demonstrated the potential to conduct a vigorous and 
significant research program as evidenced by their publication record
