Job ID: 31315
Location: Main Campus

Please apply here: https://careers.ucalgary.ca/jobs/14102370-assistant-professor-transdisciplinary-space-science-and-aerospace-technology-faculty-of-science-and-schulich-school-of-engineering

We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 region in Southern Alberta.
The City of Calgary is also home to Métis Nation of Alberta, Districts 5 and 6.

Position Description

The Department of Physics and Astronomy in the Faculty of Science in partnership with the Schulich School of Engineering at the University of Calgary seek outstanding candidates for a full-time Assistant Professor (tenure-track) in transdisciplinary research spanning the areas of Space Science and Aerospace Technology. The anticipated start date is July 1, 2024, or a mutually agreed-upon date.

The successful applicant will demonstrate their potential to work within and across disciplines, and to contribute to a broad research enterprise ranging from fundamental research to development, demonstration and deployment of new technologies in the space/aerospace domain. Examples of potential research programs include development of scientific instrumentation to be deployed on satellites and rockets; and numerical or experimental studies of the operation of spacecraft or high-altitude aircraft that support scientific studies in near-Earth space, low-Earth orbit or during atmospheric re-entry. Additionally, the new hire will be expected to teach courses in Physics or Engineering at the graduate and undergraduate levels, engage in scholarly activities and participate in departmental and university service. This position will report to the Head of the home department, which will be determined during negotiation leading to an offer.  

This position is aligned with the University of Calgary’s new overall strategic plan, Ahead of Tomorrow, and our university-wide research strategy in New Earth-Space Technologies. New initiatives in this area will be able to leverage a recent $7M investment from the Alberta Major Innovation Fund to UC in “Space and Defence Technologies”, to allow researchers to partner with industry and capitalize on space commerce, making Alberta a global hub for space and aerospace innovation.  

Applicants must hold a PhD in Physics or Engineering (or equivalent) at the time of appointment. Postdoctoral experience is an asset. Successful applicants must be enthusiastic about contributing to teaching and research, and demonstrate the potential to excel in both. Specifically, they must convincingly demonstrate evidence of the following:

  • Excellent emerging world-class research and research creativity.
  • Robust track record of publications in high-quality journals.
  • Ability to develop an original, innovative and productive externally-funded research program.
  • Potential to achieve international recognition in their field in the next five to ten years.
  • Potential to attract, develop and retain excellent trainees, students and future researchers.
  • Potential to deliver high-quality instruction at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
  • Potential to employ innovative, student-centered teaching and assessment methods.
  • Capacity to collaborate, lead, and work well as part of a team.
  • Commitment to engage in service to the department, university, and external communities.
  • Foster the Faculty’s relations with industry, government departments, professional bodies and the wider community.

Interested individuals are encouraged to apply online via the ‘Apply Now’ link on the UCalgary careers website: https://careers.ucalgary.ca/jobs/14102370-assistant-professor-transdisciplinary-space-science-and-aerospace-technology-faculty-of-science-and-schulich-school-of-engineering

Please submit your application in one PDF file and include the following:

  • Curriculum vitae, including a complete publication list and the name and contact information of three references.
  • Concise description of past research and future research plan.
  • Statement of teaching philosophy.

Application Deadline: April 23, 2024
