Faculty Position in Space Sciences at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor
 
The Department of Climate and Space Sciences and Engineering (CLaSP) in the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan (UM) in Ann Arbor invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position with expertise in the broad space sciences and space weather area, spanning from heliosphere to ionosphere-thermosphere sciences; both for science investigations and for space weather forecast and impact applications. 
 
The CLaSP department welcomes expertise in the areas of experimental/observational (satellite or ground-based instrumentation) research, theoretical research and numerical modeling, and data-driven research (including machine learning). We are especially interested in candidates who can bridge and strengthen our existing research and teaching portfolio in space sciences and engineering. Although the position is open to all ranks, we especially seek candidates at the Assistant Professor level. 
 
We look for candidates capable of developing an internationally recognized research program, successfully competing for external funding, mentoring undergraduate and doctoral students, participating in our educational mission and programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and positively contributing to the culture, diversity, and collaborative nature of the department, college, and university. 
 
Applications should include: (1) cover letter, (2) CV, (3) research statement, (4) teaching statement, (5) a statement describing activities, contributions, or plans related to supporting diversity, equity, and inclusion, (6) and a list of four references with contact details. Desired Qualifications: Experience in experimental, observational or computational space sciences and space weather research. A PhD in a subject related to space sciences or other relevant disciplines in sciences or engineering is required by the time of the appointment. For full consideration, applications should be received by November 1, 2023. Please contact the search committee chair Prof. Shasha Zou (shashaz at umich.edu <mailto:shashaz at umich.edu>) if you have any questions.
