Faculty Positions in Astronomy, National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan

The Institute of Astronomy at National Tsing Hua University invites applicants in all areas of astronomy and astrophysics for a tenure-track faculty position at any level. Successful applicants should be able to develop competitive research programs and have the potential to be recognized internationally for leadership in their field. They will be expected to teach at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Research and teaching experiences beyond Ph.D. are preferred.

Research at NTHU/IoA includes theoretical and observational studies of high-energy astrophysics, gravitational waves, galactic archaeology, galaxy clusters, cosmology, star and planet formation, exoplanet physics, and astrochemistry. IoA faculty observe with Chandra, XMM, Fermi, NuSTAR, JWST, Subaru, CHEOPS, Spitzer, SMA, JCMT, and ALMA; run simulations of stellar evolution, supernovae, galaxy evolution and galaxy cluster physics; and are involved in surveys including DESI, AKARI, KAGRA, LIGO, ALMA-IMF, ALMAGAL, ALMA-eDisk, ALMA-COMPASS, JWST ERS Ice Age, JWST JOYS+, JWST JDISC, JWST-HEFE, JCMT BISTRO, JCMT Transient, Twinkle, and ZTF-II. Instrumentation projects include Gamma-ray Transients Monitor (GTM, to fly on TASA’s Formosat-8B and on UKSA’s Faraday-Dragon) and Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI, a NASA SMEX program led by UCB/SSL), and Bustling Universe Radio Survey Telescope in Taiwan (BURSTT) dedicated for FRBs. IoA faculty and students can access the CICA cluster, an on-site HPC facility for astronomical computing (see https://github.com/nthu-ioa/cluster/wiki/Cluster-Specification for specs). IoA is also involved in Taiwan Astronomical Research Alliance (TARA), a forerunner of the National Observatory in Taiwan.
