This full-time faculty position is on-campus and in-person.

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at Texas Christian University (TCU) invites applications for a tenure-track faculty position in the area of Astronomy/ Astrophysics at the Assistant Professor level to begin in Fall 2024. Applicants should have a PhD in Astronomy, Astrophysics, or Physics, a strong record of achievement in astrophysics related research, and a commitment to excellence in undergraduate and graduate teaching and outreach. Applicants from all areas of astrophysics will be considered. The Department and the University are dedicated to creating a diverse, equitable, and inclusive working and learning environment and individuals who are committed to furthering these causes are encouraged to apply. We especially welcome applicants from groups traditionally underrepresented in Physics and Astronomy. Post-doctoral experience is preferred but not required.

The successful candidate will be expected to teach undergraduate and graduate courses in astronomy and physics and to advise PhD candidates. As an R2 institution that is based upon the Teacher-Scholar model, the typical teaching load is 2 courses per semester. We expect the candidate to seek external funding in order to conduct an independent and vigorous research program. We also expect that the new faculty member will strengthen and expand our undergraduate and graduate programs in astronomy/astrophysics.

Department Details:
The Department has an excellent student/faculty ratio with an active group of majors. The current departmental focus in astronomy/astrophysics is observational astronomy, with an emphasis on work utilizing data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV & V, Hubble Space Telescope, and the McDonald Observatory, and has a history of success in obtaining funding from NSF and NASA.

School/College Description:
The TCU College of Science & Engineering (CSE) encompasses 10 departments (Biology, Chemistry & Biochemistry, Computer Science, Engineering, Environmental Sciences, Geological Sciences, Mathematics, Nutritional Sciences, Physics & Astronomy, and Psychology) as well the Ranch Management Program, which offers both an undergraduate degree and a one-year certificate program. The College is also home to the Pre-Health Professions Institute, the Karyn Purvis Institute for Child Development, the Institute of Behavioral Research, and the Institute for Ranch Management. The College is the second largest at TCU in terms of both undergraduate enrollment and number of majors. CSE contains a disproportionate percentage of high achieving students, as evidenced by the fact that almost one-half the students in the Honors College have majors in the College of Science & Engineering. Research opportunities abound for undergraduates, with over 40 percent of majors engaging in a substantive experience during which they work one-on-one with their faculty mentor. The College also has five doctoral programs and 16 master's programs as well as two graduate certificate programs. The College faculty are true teacher-scholars, for whom instruction and research are viewed as complementary activities.
