Attention: Ms. Erlene Mooney, Astronomy Search Committee


The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Iowa State University has an opening for a new faculty member in observational astronomy or instrumentation. While we expect to make an appointment at the assistant professor level, exceptionally qualified candidates may be considered for a more senior level position. The new faculty member will be expected to carry out a vigorous program of research and to participate fully in the teaching program in the department. Candidates at the assistant professor level are expected to have a Ph.D. degree and demonstrated record of research accomplishments normally achieved through postdoctoral experience. Candidates at more senior levels must have a superior record in research, publications and funding. All candidates should demonstrate promise for excellence in teaching at undergraduate and graduate levels. The astrophysics program at Iowa State consists of seven faculty members with research programs in stellar and extragalactic astronomy and in gamma-ray astrophysics. This position is open to candidates working in any subject area and in any wavelength range of the electromagnetic spectrum, though preference may be given to those whose research relates to ongoing efforts in the department.

Interested individuals should submit applications (including a cover letter, curriculum vitae, and statements of research and teaching goals), and request at least three letters of reference to be sent to Ms. Erlene Mooney, at the address above. We will begin considering applications on 1 November 2002. Applications from women and minorities are encouraged. AAE/EOE.
