Description
Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are large-scale magnetized plasma structures ejected from the Sun with speeds ranging from a few to more than 2000 kilometers per second. The CMEs impart energy and momentum to planetary atmospheres and magnetospheres. CMEs also drive fast mode magnetohydrodynamic shocks, which in turn accelerate electrons and ions. Experimental and theoretical research is conducted to investigate various aspects of CMEs from their initiation at the Sun, their interplanetary propagation, and the subsequent impact on various heliospheric structures. These studies also include the shock-driving capability of CMEs, as derived from the interplanetary radio emission associated with these solar eruptions. Spacecraft data obtained by white-light coronagraphs and radio instruments are used for these investigations. Emphasis is placed on space weather studies that relate the properties of CMEs to the intensity of geomagnetic storms and solar energetic particle events.

Job No: 499252
Work Type: Faculty
Location: Newark/Hybrid
Categories: Physics & Astronomy, Full Time
Assistant Professor (tenure track) in the area of space weather,
College of Arts and Sciences
INTRODUCTION/POSITION: We seek creative and innovative
individuals who have a strong research background in the broad
field of space weather, will engage in high-quality teaching and
mentoring at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and are
eager to become leaders in their fields, working in a
collaborative, interdisciplinary, and diverse research environment.
Here, space weather is broadly defined as a branch of space plasma
physics and heliophysics focused on phenomena that impact the space
environment, including influences on human and robotic presence in
space, space technology, and space exploration.
Space physics and the subfield of space weather is a
longstanding specialty of the Department of Physics and Astronomy
and its Bartol Research Institute, with extensive theoretical,
computational, and observational research programs. The range of
research topics include plasma physics, fluid mechanics,
magnetohydrodynamics, charged particle transport and acceleration,
turbulence theory, and magnetic reconnection, and there is ongoing
work using computational physics as tools and as related research
disciplines. Specifically, the theoretical work in Space Physics at
UD emphasizes these topical areas with applications to the physics
of the sun, the solar corona, the magnetosphere, and the solar
wind. Many of these theoretical research efforts incorporate close
connection to space flight programs and associated observational
studies in areas of research that are of great national and
international interest including solar and cosmic ray physics,
geospace impacts of space weather, and heliophysics more broadly.
Further connections to satellite missions, laboratory experiments,
and data science are potentially important and of interest. Current
involvements include Parker Solar Probe, Magnetospheric Multiscale,
Wind, Cluster, PUNCH, CURIE, Helioswarm, IMAP, and the neutron
monitor network.
QUALIFICATIONS AND RESPONSIBILITIES: The successful candidate
will have a demonstrated research background in heliophysics, space
physics, or plasma physics, with applications to space weather or
related subfields, a Ph.D. degree and postdoctoral experience in
physics or a closely related discipline. The candidate will enhance
and expand the department's current capabilities in space plasma
physics and will establish independent research that complements
and supports the existing program. Theorists and observationalists
with data analysis, computational, and nonlinear simulation skills
and interests are particularly sought, as are candidates with an
interest in collaborative and synergistic efforts within the group,
within the department, and in cooperation with extramural groups on
major space and ground- based programs. The Delaware space physics
group maintains broad interaction with international
collaborators.
The position responsibilities include research (e.g., journal
publications, presentations, securing external funding, and
collaborating with researchers at UD and elsewhere), teaching
(including teaching classes within the UD Physics and Astronomy
Department and mentoring UD students involved in research), and a
small fraction of their workload dedicated to service tasks to the
Department, College, or University and academic community.
Furthermore, the successful candidate will be expected to both
provide effective instruction and advising to a diverse population
of graduate and undergraduate students and, importantly, to
demonstrate commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion in their
educational, research, and academic service activities. UD is a
Research-1 University which offers a low teaching workload in the
Department of Physics and Astronomy, typically one class per
semester, such that sufficient time is available for developing a
research-intensive career.
Individuals who identify as members of groups that have been
historically underrepresented in and excluded from STEM are
encouraged to apply. International candidates are also encouraged
to apply and UD’s International Student & Scholar Service will
provide assistance to non-US employees.
THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY AT UD: The Department of
Physics and Astronomy (DPA) at the University of Delaware is within
the College Arts and Sciences.
The DPA traces its ancestry back to a small teaching department,
which began in 1920. By the early 1960s, the department had
expanded into a major research department with the construction of
Sharp Laboratory and the development of a full-scale doctoral
program. The arrival of the Bartol Research Institute in the late
1970s transformed developing research areas in astrophysics,
particle physics, and solar-terrestrial physics into full-fledged
programs for Ph.D. students. In July 2005, the Bartol Research
Institute merged with the Department of Physics and Astronomy,
becoming a research center within the Department. Several faculty
of the DPA are also associated with the UD’s Data Science
Institute.
Today, more than 30 faculty do research at the DPA in its two
main themes, which are quantum science and physics of the universe.
The physics of the universe theme includes astronomy, space
physics, high-energy particle and particle astrophysics. Research
in Space physics and space weather ranges from theoretical and
computational studies to satellite observations and is a
longstanding specialty of the Bartol Research Institute.
In addition to traditional physics and astrophysics curricula,
current educational initiatives include computational physics, data
science, and large-scale simulation. The department has a strong
commitment to enhancing representation and equity in the classroom
with actively funded initiatives focused on increasing access to
STEM education and data science for traditionally underrepresented
and excluded groups. Furthermore, the department actively seeks to
continuously foster and improve an inclusive, equitable, and
supportive culture that protects the physical, mental, and
emotional wellbeing of all its members and promotes excellence in
research and education.
The College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Delaware
offers exceptional educational experiences including integrated
instruction, research and public engagement. With 24 academic
departments and more than 25 centers, programs and institutes, the
College serves close to 7,000 undergraduate students and over 1,000
graduate students with CAS majors, but also every single University
student through foundational course work. The College’s 600 faculty
members emphasize the enduring value of an arts and science
education and share a deep commitment to excellence in scholarship
and all forms of creative and intellectual expression. The College
has departments in the arts, humanities, social sciences and
natural sciences, and features outstanding research and teaching
facilities. Faculty and staff encourage and support innovative
interdisciplinary collaborations and students engage local,
national and global audiences through research and creative
activity. With annual research expenditures of approximately $38
million and growing, the College currently houses several large,
interdisciplinary grants with significant funding from the NIH and
NSF.

INTRODUCTION/POSITION:
We seek creative and innovative individuals who have a strong research background in the broad field of space weather, will engage in high-quality teaching and mentoring at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, and are eager to become leaders in their fields, working in a collaborative, interdisciplinary, and diverse research environment. Here, space weather is broadly defined as a branch of space plasma physics and heliophysics focused on phenomena that impact the space environment, including influences on human and robotic presence in space, space technology, and space exploration.
Space physics and the subfield of space weather is a longstanding specialty of the Department of Physics and Astronomy and its Bartol Research Institute, with extensive theoretical, computational, and observational research programs. The range of research topics include plasma physics, fluid mechanics, magneto hydrodynamics, charged particle transport and acceleration, turbulence theory, and magnetic reconnection, and there is ongoing work using computational physics as tools and as related research disciplines.
Specifically, the theoretical work in Space Physics at UD emphasizes these topical areas with applications to the physics of the sun, the solar corona, the magnetosphere, and the solar wind. Many of these theoretical research efforts incorporate close connection to space flight programs and associated observational studies in areas of research that are of great national and international interest including solar and cosmic ray physics, geospace impacts of space weather, and heliophysics more broadly.
Further connections to satellite missions, laboratory experiments, and data science are potentially important and of interest. Current involvements include Parker Solar Probe, Magnetospheric Multiscale, Wind, Cluster, PUNCH, CURIE, Helios warm, IMAP, and the neutron monitor network.
QUALIFICATIONS AND
RESPONSIBILITIES:
The successful candidate will have a demonstrated research background in heliophysics, space physics, or plasma physics, with applications to space weather or related subfields, a Ph.
D. degree and postdoctoral experience in physics or a closely related discipline. The candidate will enhance and expand the department's current capabilities in space plasma physics and will establish independent research that complements and supports the existing program. Theorists and observationalists with data analysis, computational, and nonlinear simulation skills and interests are particularly sought, as are candidates with an interest in collaborative and synergistic efforts within the group, within the department, and in cooperation with extramural groups on major space and ground- based programs.
The Delaware space physics group maintains broad interaction with international collaborators.
The position responsibilities include research (e.g., journal publications, presentations, securing external funding, and collaborating with researchers at UD and elsewhere), teaching (including teaching classes within the UD Physics and Astronomy Department and mentoring UD students involved in research), and a small fraction of their workload dedicated to service tasks to the Department, College, or University and academic community. Furthermore, the successful candidate will be expected to both provide effective instruction and advising to a diverse population of graduate and undergraduate students and, importantly, to demonstrate commitment to equity, diversity, and inclusion in their educational, research, and academic service activities.
UD is a Research-1 University which offers a low teaching workload in the Department of Physics and Astronomy, typically one class per semester, such that sufficient time is available for developing a research-intensive career.
Individuals who identify as members of groups that have been historically underrepresented in and excluded from STEM are encouraged to apply. International candidates are also encouraged to apply and UD's International Student & Scholar Service will provide assistance to non-US employees.
THE DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICS AND ASTRONOMY AT UD:
The Department of Physics and Astronomy (DPA) at the University of Delaware is within the College Arts and Sciences.
The DPA traces its ancestry back to a small teaching department, which began in 1920. By the early 1960s, the department had expanded into a major research department with the construction of Sharp Laboratory and the development of a full-scale doctoral program. The arrival of the Bartol Research Institute in the late 1970s transformed developing research areas in astrophysics, particle physics, and solar-terrestrial physics into full-fledged programs for Ph.
