CEDAR email: Tenured/Tenure-Track Position in Space Sciences at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University

[Liu, Alan]

We welcome applications to the following Tenured/Tenure-Track Position at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. Review of applications will begin December 2nd, 2024, and continue until the positions are filled.

The Department of Physical Sciences of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach Campus, invites applications for one or more Tenured/Tenure-Track Open Rank faculty positions in the field of experimental or computational space science. Rank and salary will be commensurate with experience.

We are seeking applications from individuals with expertise that complement those of our existing space and atmospheric physics group. We are especially interested in candidates with experimental expertise such as in-situ or remote sensing with ground-based instrumentation, sounding rockets/CubeSat, and high-altitude balloons. We also welcome candidates with computational expertise in modeling the geospace environment and planetary atmospheres. Candidates with a strong commitment to both research and teaching excellence are encouraged to apply.

About the Department of Physical Sciences
The Department of Physical Sciences has over forty faculty, and more than 350 students in three B.S. programs (Engineering Physics, Space Physics, and Astronomy & Astrophysics) and two graduate programs (MS and PhD in Engineering Physics). We are a diverse department focusing on both research and teaching in disciplines spanning physics, atmospheric sciences, astronomy and astrophysics, control systems, and chemistry. Last year the department’s total external funding exceeded $32M and our courses exceeded 9000 student enrollments.

About the Center for Space and Atmospheric Research (CSAR)
The Department is home to ERAU's Center for Space and Atmospheric Research<https://erau.edu/research/industry-collaboration/center-for-space-and-atmospheric-research> (CSAR), which is the oldest fundamental research Center at ERAU, with over $5M/year annual research expenditures. The selected candidate will join CSAR's faculty engaging in research on the coupled atmosphere, ionosphere, and magnetosphere systems of Earth and other planets. CSAR includes over 10 faculty and 10 scientists with expertise spanning theory, modeling, observation, and experiment, in support of its 5 flagship labs — the Experimental and Computational Laboratory for Atmosphere-Ionosphere Research (ECLAIR), the Laboratory for Solar and Magnetosphere-Ionosphere Research<https://daytonabeach.erau.edu/about/labs/lasmir> (LaSMIR), the Laboratory for Exosphere and Near-Space Environment Studies (LENSES), the Space and Atmospheric Instrumentation Laboratory<https://sites.erau.edu/sail/> (SAIL), and the Space Physics Research Laboratory<https://daytonabeach.erau.edu/about/labs/space-physics-research> (SPRL)
