Tenure Track Faculty Position in Experimental Atmospheric Physics


The Department of Physics at the University of Toronto is pleased to announce the search for a tenure-stream appointment in Experimental Atmospheric Physics at the rank of Assistant Professor. The starting date is on or after July 1, 2006.

The Department has an active Atmospheric Physics Group with established research strengths in remote sounding of the atmosphere and measurements of chemical composition from the ground, balloons, and space, climate modeling and climate processes, chemical transport modeling, and geophysical fluid dynamics. This program is complemented by strength in environmental chemistry within the Chemistry Department and by activities in the recently established Centre for Global Change Science. Members of the Atmospheric Physics Group currently lead Canadian national programs in Polar Climate Stability, Global Chemistry for Climate, and the MANTRA stratospheric balloon mission. Major infrastructure includes a NEC supercomputer, laboratory spectroscopy facilities, and an atmospheric observatory that is a Complementary station of the Network for Detection of Stratospheric Change. The Department seeks to make an appointment that complements and extends existing strengths. Potential applicants are invited to visit our web sites at http://www.atmosp.physics.utoronto.ca and http://www.physics.utoronto.ca.

For this position, we seek candidates with a Ph.D. in Physics or a related field, and proven excellence or outstanding potential in research and teaching. The salary will be commensurate with qualifications and experience.

Please submit complete hard-copy applications only, including a curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and a research plan, and arrange for three letters of reference, all to be sent to:

The University of Toronto offers the opportunity to teach, conduct research, and live, in one of the most diverse cities in the world, and is strongly committed to diversity within its community. The University especially welcomes applications from visible minority group members, women, Aboriginal persons, persons with disabilities, members of sexual minority groups and others who may contribute to further diversification of ideas. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority.
