Job Description:
The City University of New York's College of Staten Island (CUNY/CSI) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in astrophysics. The astronomy/astrophysics group at the College resides within the Department of Engineering Science and Physics, and is currently primarily engaged in extragalactic observational research via national and international collaborations, as well as asteroid astrometry with a dedicated 16-inch telescope located on the College's 204-acre campus. We seek an outstanding individual to complement and extend the research and educational efforts of the group. Special emphasis will be placed on experience and capability in computational astrophysics. The successful candidate will have a strong record of astrophysical research and demonstrated enthusiasm for excellent teaching from general-education astronomy to doctoral graduate courses. We are particularly interested in candidates with the expertise and research plan to utilize CUNY/CSI's new high performance computational facility (for details please visit http://www.csi.cuny.edu/cunyhpc/ ). Strong candidates in all research specialties, however, will receive full consideration. Interested applicants should send their curriculum vitae, list of publications, research statement, and teaching statement, and should arrange for three letters of reference to be sent to Charles Liu (Chair of the search committee) by email cliu@mail.csi.cuny.edu or by mail to the address above. Review of applications will begin in January 2009; later applications may be considered until the position is filled. Women and members of underserved and minority populations are especially encouraged to apply.
Included Benefits:
The full package of benefits for full-time employees of New York State is included; this includes, and is not limited to, medical and dental insurance, maternity leave, and retirement benefits. The City University of New York has a unionized faculty, so membership benefits of the Professional Staff Congress (PSC-CUNY) are also included.
