Tenure-track Faculty Position in Astrophysics

The Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Rochester invites applications for a faculty position in observational or experimental astrophysics. Applicants should have a Ph.D., an outstanding record of research, and a commitment to excellence in teaching at both the undergraduate and the graduate level. The position is a junior tenure-track appointment; however, applicants at a more senior level will also be considered.
