first five years of this position will be funded through the NSF Faculty
Development in Space Sciences program. Candidates with research interests in
any aspect(s) of Earth-based space physics are encouraged to apply. AOS is a
vibrant and collaborative department with faculty interested in atmospheric,
climate, and ocean science, as well as Space Physics.<span> </span>Space Physics research and education at UCLA
spans several departments, including faculty in the Departments of Earth,
Planetary, and Space Sciences and Physics & Astronomy in addition to
AOS.<span> </span>These departments have active
research programs in solar wind, inner and outer magnetospheric physics,
ionospheric physics (with connections to the neutral atmosphere), and space
weather, utilizing numerical simulations, laboratory experiments, space-based
and ground-based platforms. The ability of applicants to complement, and
further contribute to UCLA’s long-standing strength in Space Physics will be a
consideration in evaluation in addition to their commitment to enhancing the
diversity of AOS faculty members, graduate student population, and majors
within the field.<span> </span><span></span></span></p>
