Job Description:
Astrophysics Faculty PositionDepartment of Physics and Astronomy
Johns Hopkins University
The Department of Physics and Astronomy of the Johns Hopkins University invites applications for a faculty position in astrophysics. We will consider applicants in all subfields of astrophysics. We expect that this appointment will be made at the level of assistant professor, but appointments at a higher level may be possible in exceptional cases. Current faculty members are active in theory, developing astronomical instrumentation (particularly for space-based platforms), observational astronomy across a wide range of wavelengths, and data intensive science. Research interests of the current faculty members include planetary science, extra-solar planets, the interstellar medium, stellar populations, high-energy astrophysics, active galaxies, galaxy formation and evolution, and cosmology. Johns Hopkins is a member of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and Pan-STARRS 1 projects, owns a share of the Apache Point Observatory 3.5m telescope, is the home of the WMAP and Advanced Camera for Surveys teams, and is an institutional member in the GALEX mission. We are playing a leading role in the National Virtual Observatory. We cooperate closely with the adjacent Space Telescope Science Institute, the JHU Applied Physics Laboratory, and NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
Applicants should submit a curriculum vitae, list of publications, and short description of research plans as PDF attachments to astrosearch@pha.jhu.edu and also arrange to have three letters of reference e-mailed by reviewers to the same address. Mail may be addressed to: Astrophysics Search Committee, c/o Ms. Pam Carmen, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Johns Hopkins University, 3400 North Charles St., Baltimore, MD 21218 USA. Consideration of applications will begin on December 1, and will continue until the position is filled. Hopkins is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer, and welcomes applications from women and members of underrepresented groups.
