The Department of Physics and Astronomy at York University invites highly qualified applicants for a full-time professorial stream tenure-track appointment in long-wavelength observational extragalactic astrophysics at the Assistant Professor level, to commence July 1, 2023.
The Department is interested in applications from candidates with a proven research record of planning, obtaining, and conducting scientific investigations on data from long-wavelength facilities to which Canada is contributing, including - but not limited to - ALMA, the JVLA, cosmic microwave background experiments, CHIME, MeerKAT, and eventually the SKA and the ngVLA. Of particular interest are candidates working in the areas of galaxy formation and evolution, supermassive black holes, the nature of dark matter, or testing LCDM cosmology.
Observational astronomers in the Department focus on the formation and evolution of galaxies and galaxy clusters, on quasars, and on supernovae and other transients. Theoreticians focus on dark matter, early Universe cosmology, the cosmic microwave background, large scale structure, and exoplanetary atmospheres. The development of synergies between theory and observation is highly valued in the Department.
The successful candidate will be expected to develop a strong, externally funded research program, supervise graduate students, foster research linkages within and beyond York, and play an active role in widely promoting York's endeavours in research and education.
