The Department of Astronomy at the University of Florida invites applications for a full-time, nine-month tenure-track faculty position at the level of Assistant Professor to begin August 16, 2024. We particularly encourage applicants who have experience in time domain astrophysics, which can be at any wavelength or timescale, and can utilize resources available at the University of Florida (UF). Applicants with backgrounds in observational, experimental, theoretical, or computational astrophysics are welcome.
Candidates will be able to access UF's world-class research facilities and telescopes (astro.ufl.edu/research/telescopes), including the 10.4-m Gran Telescopio Canarias in Spain, the Dharma survey telescope in Arizona, and the MINERVA Australis exoplanet RV array. Faculty also carry out research using the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument, and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey V. UF is home to HiPerGator, one of the most powerful high-performance computers at a US public university (www.rc.ufl.edu/services/hipergator/). We welcome applicants who can benefit from access to these resources while developing high-impact research programs using other major national and international observational astronomical facilities and publicly available large datasets.
Candidates should already have a strong established research program that complements ongoing research in the Department of Astronomy, a compelling plan for future research, and the ability to supervise both graduate and undergraduate research projects.
Questions may be addressed to the Search Committee Chair, Professor Jaehan Bae (jbae(at)ufl.edu).
